Chemical pretreatment of Lagenaria breviflora seeds used as biosorbents for the removal of aqueous-bound Ni2+

Lagenaria breviflora (LB) seeds were modified with acid (AMLB) and base (BMLB) for the sorption of Ni2+ from an aqueous solution. It was characterized by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA)...
