Comparison between Different Keratin-composed Biosorbents for the Removal of Heavy Metal Ions from Aqueous Solutions
This study examined and compared the ability of chicken feathers, human hair and animal horns, as keratin-composed biosorbents, for the removal of Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ ions from single metal ion aqueous solutions under different operating conditions. The three biosorbents investigated in this study were...
