Modelling of single and binary adsorption of lead and cadmium ions onto modified olive pomace
This study deals with the evaluation of the single and binary removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+ from aqueous solutions using HNO3 modified olive pomace (N-OP) as a biosorbent, as well as the development of a renovative model for the binary adsorption isotherm. The biosorbents were characterized and batch adsorption experiments were used to investigate the optimum conditions for pH, adsorbent dose, and contact time.
