Lignocellulosic Materials Used as Biosorbents for the Capture of Nickel (II) in Aqueous Solution

Four lignocellulosic materials (walnut shell, chestnut shell, pine wood and burnt pine wood) were analyzed as biosorbents to remove nickel ions in aqueous solution. The optimal pH condition was determined. Due to this, a range of different pHs (3.0 to 7.5) was tested. The adsorption isotherms and ki...
