Adsorptive removal of cadmium from aqueous solution by cork biomass: Equilibrium, dynamic and thermodynamic studies

The removal of toxic metal, cadmium, by using adsorption into Algerian cork biomass was investigated. The biosorption process was studied with respect to contact time, particle size, pH and temperature. The results showed that equilibrium was reached within 1 h. The used biosorbent gave the highest...
