Application of activated biomass waste as an adsorbent for the removal of lead (II) ion from wastewater

This work focuses on the application of activated biomass as an alternative to conventional adsorbents for the removal of Pb2+ from wastewater. The biomass was carbonized at 800 °C before chemical activation. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and UV/VIS Spectrophotometer were used in characterizing...
