Nickel Recovery from Aqueous Solution Using Crab Shell Particles

The potential use of crab shell as a sorbent for the removal of nickel(II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The binding of nickel ions by crab shell was found to be affected significantly by pH, with the maximum sorption capacity being observed at pH 4.5. The sorption isotherm was well r...
