Separation of divalent metal ions using Pandanus Amaryllifolius Roxb (Pandanus)leaves: desorption study

Desorption by dead biomass has been studied on Pandanus Amaryllifolius Roxb (Pandanus leaves) by conducting batch experiments. The recovery of heavy metals such as lead and copper ions from biomass was examined using a variety of desorbing chemicals. This study aims to discover the best chemical whi...
