Production of Biosorbents from Waste Olive Cake and Its Adsorption Characteristics for Zn2+ Ion

In this study, waste olive cake (OC) was utilized as the raw material for the production of biosorbents by chemical treatment and its adsorption capacity for zinc ion was evaluated. Tests were conducted with the total biomass (T) and with the fraction > 2.00 mm (P), in order to determinate th...
