Adsorptive removal of Co(II) in aqueous solutions using clearing nut seed powder

The present study assessed the potential use of clearing nut seed powder (Strychnos potatorum) as an adsorbent for the removal of Co(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Based on FTIR analysis, the adsorbent possesses hydroxyl, C-N, and C-O functional groups and SEM analysis indicated the presence of un...
