Cadmium Removal from Aqueous Systems Using Opuntia albicarpa L. Scheinvar as Biosorbent
The aim of this research was to investigate the use of a natural adsorbent like nopal (Opuntia albicarpa L. Scheinvar) for removing cadmium from aqueous solutions with low concentrations of this metal. Two treatments were applied to the cladodes: a dehydration to get dehydrated nopal (DHN) and heati...
