Immobilised tannin: Efficient trap for nickel and lead ions in aqueous solution

Quantity of water is a major concern, but the quality is of more urgent concern due to heavy metal pollution. In this study, the focus was to develop adsorbents (tannin resin (TR) and iron-doped tannin resin (Fe-TR)) from invasive Acacia mearnsii for Pb2+ and Ni2+ in solution. The developed TR and F...
