Cassava Root Husks as a Sorbent Material for the Uptake and Pre-concentration of Cadmium(II) from Aqueous Media

Cassava husks were undergone to simple processes to obtain a fine powder whose particle diameter varied from 63 μm to 75 μm. The characterization of the material indicated the presence of the groups alcohol, amine and thiocarbonyl. The material was tested through batch experiments and the effect of...
