Sorption of Lead Ions from Aqueous Solution by Chickpea Leaves, Stems and Fruit Peelings

Leaves, stems and fruit peelings of chickpea (Cicer arientinum L.) were successfully utilized for the accumulation of lead ions from aqueous solutions onto their surfaces. The rate and extent of accumulation were affected by pH, particle size, contact time and the initial concentration of Pb(II) ion...
