Valorisation of Pine Cone as an Efficient Biosorbent for the Removal of Pb(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), and Cr(VI)

Valorisation of pine cone as an efficient, low-cost, and eco-friendly biosorbent for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions is evaluated. The morphology and surface chemistry of the biosorbent are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive elemental analysis, and Fo...
