Biosorption of Toxic Heavy Metal Ions from Water Environment Using Honeycomb Biomass—An Industrial Waste Material
TL;DR: In this article, the ability of honeycomb biomass (HC), a byproduct of the honey industry, to remove Pb, Cd, Cu, and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions was determined as a function of the solution pH, amount of biomass, contact time, and initial metal ion concentration.
