Adsorption of cd(ii), ni(ii) and cu(ii) using activated rock melon shell waste : kinetics and equilibrium

Heavy metals in wastewater exhibit a global concern of environment due to its toxicity characteristics to many organisms. Adsorption can be used for high separation efficiency of heavy metals in waste water. This method widely used in this industry using different type of adsorbent. The use of low-c...
