The application of low-cost adsorbents obtained from plant wastes as a replacement for
costly conventional methods of removing heavy metal ions from wastewater has been …

Lignocellulosic biomass is most abundant, ecofriendly and sustainable material on this
green planet which has received great attention due to exhaustion of petroleum reserves …

The adsorption of Cu (II) ions from aqueous solution by rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) leaf
powder (RHBL) was studied in a batch adsorption system. Characteristics of RHBL such as …

wastewater is a widely known source for metal pollution in aquatic bodies as well as surface …

This review examines a variety of adsorbents and discusses mechanisms, modification
methods, recovery and regeneration, and commercial applications. A summary of available …

Heavy metal pollution has become one of the most serious problems today, and the use of
microbial and plant biomass for the detoxification of industrial effluents for environmental …

Adsorption is a facile, economic, eco-friendly and low-energy requiring technology that aims
to separate diverse compounds (ions and molecules) from one phase to another using a …

Industrialization and urbanization have led to the release of increasing amounts of heavy
metals into the environment. Metal ion contamination of drinking water and waste water is a …
