Valorization of Wasted Black Tea as a Low-Cost Adsorbent for Nickel and Zinc Removal from Aqueous Solution
Characteristics and efficiency of wasted black tea (WBT) were investigated as a low-cost sorbent in removal of Ni2+ and Zn2+ ions from aqueous solution. Initial findings showed WBT potential to be applied as an effective sorbent due to high concentrations of carbon and calcium and high porosity and...
