Abstract:This study aimed to assess the value of Pachira aquatica Aubl. fruit peels by exploring their applicability in the biosorption process for the removal of Ni(II) and Cd(II) metal ions. The Pachira aquatica Aubl. fruit peel biochar (PAB) was extensively characterized through various techniques, including proximate analysis, helium pycnometer, XRD, SEM, point of zero charge determination, zeta potential measurement, and Boehm titration. Subsequently, kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic batch biosorption studies … Show more
