Adsorption of Cu(II) Ions onto a Cellulosic Biosorbent, Leaf Powder: Application in Water Treatment
In the present work, Azadirachta indica (neem) leaves were converted to a powder for use in the separation of Cu(II) ions from water. The powdered biomass was investigated as a sorbent for Cu(II) ions employing pH, time, initial Cu(II) ion concentration and the amount of sorbent as the experimental...
