DEVELOPMENT OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PANDANUS SENDERI STEM FOR THE REMOVAL OF Pb2+ AND Ni2+ FROM WASTEWATER
ABSTRACT The released of hazardous and toxic elements like heavy metals from industries into the hydrosphere like oceans, rivers, lakes are a major concern in environment. Natural agents have high adsorption capacities for divalent metal ions. Pandanus is a natural adsorbent and in comparison with others and its availability in Nigeria is cost effective. In this study, the adsorption of heavy metal ions (Pb2+ and Ni2+) from sewage wastewater which ...
