Abstract:The presence of heavy metals in the environment and especially water is known to both cause severe harm to marine organisms, and also to terrestrial plants and animals including human beings. In an attempt to minimize environmental pollution caused by agricultural wastes and maximize agricultural by-products, the adsorption of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ using carbonized orange peel as adsorbent was studied using batch adsorption method. The initial physico-chemical properties of the prepared adsorbent were 6.14, 10%, 12%… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
