Removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solutions by Phytolacca americana L. biomass as a low cost biosorbent

Screening a new biosorbent with low cost and high efficiency from a native plant material is a key to the adsorption of heavy metal ions from wastewater. In this study, the potential of Phytolacca americana L. as a biosorbent for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions was investigated. Experiments we...
