Biosorption of Ni(II), Cr(III), and Co(II) from Solutions Using Acalypha hispida Leaf: Kinetics, Equilibrium, and Thermodynamics

Biosorption studies were conducted to study the removal of Ni(II), Cr(III), and Co(II) from aqueous solution of Acalypha hispida leaf. The FTIR spectral characteristics of Acalypha hispida leaf revealed the presence of ioniazable groups that could participate in the binding of metal ions in solution...
