Ni(II) REMOVAL BY BIOSORPTION USING FICUS RELIGIOSA (PEEPAL) LEAVES
The pollutant binding capacity of acid treated Ficus Religiosa (Peepal) leaves was investigated in a batch system under varying conditions. The results indicate that sorption equihbrium was established in about 60 minutes with equilibrium capacity of 6.35 ± 0.54mg/g. The Ni(II) sorption is highly de...
