Removal of cadmium ions with olive stones: the effect of somes parameters

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of somes parameters on the biosorption of cadmium has been studied using olive stones as the solid sorbent, and it was found that the smaller the size of the sorbent particles, the higher the percentage of Cadmium retrieved up to 90% for sizes ranging between 0.355 and 0.250 mm.
