Simultaneous removal of heavy metals from drinking water by banana, orange and potato peel beads: a study of biosorption kinetics

Abstract Banana, orange and potato peels (BP, OP and PP, respectively) were immobilised to produce biosorbent beads that were employed for the biosorption of heavy metals from a cocktail solution containing As(V), Cd(II), Cr(VI), Cu(II), Hg(II) and Ni(II) ions. Drinking water conditions were maintai...
