Kinetic and Equilibrium Studies on the Adsorption of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) by Rape Straw

Various kinds of biological materials have been investigated as an alternative biosorbent to treat low-metal-bearing wastewaters. In this study, rape straw (RS), a kind of agricultural waste abundantly available at no cost, was used as an efficient biosorbent for the removal of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu...
