Immobilization of maize tassel in polyvinyl alcohol for the removal of phosphoric compounds from surface water near farmland

In this study, proximate analysis and characterization techniques were carried out on maize tassel fibers immobilized with Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) for its usability as a biosorbent for adsorption process. The surface chemistry of the biomaterial showed the presence of carboxylic groups and lactone g...
