Adsorption of Heavy Metal (Nickel) In Waste Water Treatment Using Banana Peels

Heavy metal contamination exists in aqueous wastes of many industries in Malaysia and nickel is of the many type of heavy metal ions that are available in the Malaysian waste water streams. There are various ways to remove heavy metal ions from waste water; however the main disadvantages such as...
