Biosorption of ferrum (II) from industrial wastewater by using water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica)

The increasing amount of industrial wastewater discharges to the environment have contibuted to the increasing amount heavy metals in clean water sources such as river, pond and lake. This matter is seems to be a major problem as heavy metals in water source can cause illnesses, diseases and disorde...
