TLDR
In this paper, the copper(II) ion was removed from tomato waste using a biosorbent and showed that it was exothermic at 293-313 K. The results showed that tomato waste could be used as an alternative and low-cost biosorption for removal copper(2) ion from aqueous solutions, when suitable conditions are performed.About:
