Adsorption of Heavy Metal Ions on Pomegranate () Peel: Removal and Recovery of Cr(VI) Ions from a Multi-metal Ion System
The fruit peel of pomegranate ( Punica granatum ) exhibits a high affinity for Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) ions. The maximum adsorption observed was that of Cu(II) ions, followed by Zn(II), Cd(II), Ni(II) and Cr(VI) ions. The adsorption of Cu(II) ions was dependent on the initial Cu(II) ion co...
