Comparative Study on Biosorption of Zn(II), Cu(II) and Cr(VI) from Textile Dye Effluent Using Sawdust and Neem Leaves Powder

The performance of the low cost adsorbents such as sawdust and neem leaves powder in removing the heavy metals like Zn(II), Cu(II) and Cr(VI) from textile dye effluent are reported. Adsorbent dosage, pH and contact time were taken as parameters for biosorption study. Removal of heavy metal ions from...
