Valorization of Adenanthera pavonina seeds as a potential biosorbent for lead and cadmium removal from single and binary contaminated system

This study investigated the biosorption of Pb (II) and Cd (II) on powdered seeds of Adenanthera pavonina from single and binary heavy metal solutions. The adsorption capacity of the metal ions was studied as a function of pH, adsorbent dose, initial metal ion concentration, and contact time. In the...
