Chemically modified Retama raetam biomass as a new adsorbent for Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution: non-linear regression, kinetics and thermodynamics

Retama raetam (RR), a desert plant, was chemically modified by the reaction with succinic acid at high temperature to form succinic acid treated R. raetam (STRR). Three levels containing different carboxyl contents of STRR were prepared. Native RR and STRR were characterized by Fourier transform inf...
