Kinetic and Isotherm Studies for Nickel (II) Removal Using Novel Mesoparticle Graphene Sand Composite Synthesised From Sand and Arenga Palm Sugar

Nickel (II) is one of the most toxic contaminants recognised as a carcinogenic and mutagenic agent which needs complete removal from wastewater before disposal. In the present study, a novel adsorbent called mesoparticle graphene sand composite (MGSCaps) was synthesised from arenga palm sugar and sa...
