Removal of Lead (II) Ions from Aqueous Solutions onto Activated Carbon Derived from Waste Biomass

The removal of lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions was carried out using an activated carbon prepared from a waste biomass. The effects of various parameters such as pH, contact time, initial concentration of lead (II) ions, and temperature on the adsorption process were investigated. Energy Dispe...
