Modified Ziziphus spina-christi stones as green route for the removal of heavy metals

Abstract Green routes for remediation of heavy metals are worldwide challenges to overcome pollution problems on one hand and control the adverse impact of chemicals on the other hand. Biosorption is one of the most effective methods for removing lower level of heavy metals. The idea to apply natura...
