Chemical modification of brown macro algae Padina sp. as a potential biosorbent for the removal of heavy metals in aqueous solution / Anies Suhaida Mohd Naspu

Chemical modification on brown macro algae Padina sp. as biosorbent was carried out in order to enhance the performance due to the inefficient in removing metal ion from the water bodies. Brown macro algae Padina sp. was undergoing NaCl pretreatment process before applying it with citric acid and PA...
