Kinetic, Thermodynamic and Equilibrium Studies for the Biosorption of Nickel from an aqueous solution on to Ipomea palmata Leaves powder

Heavy metals of concern include cobalt, lead, chromium, mercury, uranium, selenium, arsenic, cadmium, silver, gold, nickel etc. [...]the government has imposed several stringent environmental protection rules. The main advantages of this method are of being effectiveness in the reduction of the concentration of heavy metal ions to permissible levels using low cost biomass materials, low operating cost, minimal volume of chemical disposable, regeneration of the biosorbent and biological sludge and high detoxifying efficiency of very dilute effluents [6]. [...]all other experiments are conducted at 35 g/L dosage [18-22].
