A kinetic and mechanistic study of adsorptive removal of metal ions by imidazole-functionalized polymer graft banana fiber

Chemically modified fibrous bio-adsorbent extracted from banana trunk was synthesized for potential application in adsorption of heavy metal from wastewater. Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) polymer graft was first introduced onto the fiber through electron beam irradiation technique. GMA-grafted fiber w...
