Adsorption of lead, (Pb) Using Activated Carbon Prepared from Coconut Coir

The main objective of the project is to study on the feasibility of the activated carbon prepared from coconuts coir for lead removal. The removal of lead (Pb) using coconut coir as a low-cost alternative natural bio-adsorbent from aqueous solutions is investigated. For this project, both chemica...
