Leaf Powder — A Potential Low-cost Biosorbent for the Removal of Cadmium(II) Ions from Wastewater
In the present investigation, an evaluation has been made of the adsorption of Cd(II) ions onto Psidium guvajava L leaf powder (PGL). Scanning electron micrographs of the powder as-prepared showed that PGL possessed an irregular texture consisting of globular and elongated grains. The porosity of th...
