Kinetic and equilibrium adsorption studies of Pb and Zn ions from aqueous solution onto plantain stalk (<i>Musa paradisiaca</i>)
This study presents the sorption of Pb2+ and Zn2+ from aqueous solution by Musa Paradisiaca (plantain stalk) with respect to its equilibrium and kinetic behaviour. The optimum pH was found to be 5.0 and 6.0 for the sorption of the Pb (II) and Zn (II) ions respectively. At pH 5.0, the biomass sorbed...
