Adsorptive removal of heavy metals from oil well produced water using citrullus lanatus peel: Characterization and optimization

The effects of adsorbent dosage, reaction time, temperature and pH on the adsorption of Pb2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+ from produced water using activated carbon prepared from Citrullus lanatus peel via calcination at 681.10 °C for 2.61 h were studied. L9 orthogonal Taguchi approach was used for the para...
