Biosorption OF Pb(II) and methylene blue onto chemically modified spent grated coconut (Cocos nucifera) / Khadijah Khalid

Wastewater contaminated by lead (Pb(II)) heavy metal and methylene blue (MB) dye, and improper solid waste disposal of agro-based industries has been a major concern among the researchers. In addition, the uncertainty regarding the mechanism and process of biosorption involving the chemically modifi...
