Abstract: The different metal complexing ligands containing synthetic and natural adsorbents have been described in literature for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. However, the removal of Chromium (IV) ion using Parkia biglobosa is yet to be reported in literature. A new method was developed to obtain adsorption capacity using modified... Show More
