Biosorption of heavy metals by biosorbent mixture of mangrove bark and oil palm mesocarp fiber: kinetics and isotherm studies / Nicodemus Ujih Michael Brenden

The existence of toxic metals in water supply has become a severe issue and created awareness amongst researchers in order to find the significant methods for the removal of toxic metals. This is due to the characteristics of heavy metals that can accumulate in living tissues and cannot be degradabl...
