Biosorption characteristics of Pennisetum glaucum for the removal of Pb(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous medium

Biosorption characteristics of Pennisetum glaucum for the removal of Pb(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous medium

Kinetics and thermodynamic studies were carried out for the removal of heavy metals (Pb+2, Ni+2 and Cd+2) from aqueous solution by using Pennisetum glaucum. Surface morphology and elemental analysis were investigated with scanning electron microscope and energy dispersion X-ray spectroscope analysis...
