Kinetic and equilibrium studies of Pb(II) and Cd(II) adsorption on African wild mango (Irvingia gabonensis) shell

The adsorption behavior of NaOH-activated African wild mango (Irvingia gabonensis) shell with respect to Pb2+ and Cd2+ has been studied in order to consider its application to purify metal finishing waste water. The optimum conditions of adsorption were determined by investigating the initial metal...
