Underutilized Luffa cylindrica sponge: A local bio-adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) pollutant from water system

Biosorption of Pb2+ ions from aqueous solution onto Luffa cylindrica sponge as adsorbent (LCSA) was investigated in batch adsorption system. LCSA was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis technique (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fou...
