Biosorptive removal of lead by lentil husk. Issue 2 (June 2015) - Basu, Mousumi
Highlights Lentil husk has been used as a sorbent for removal of lead. Sorption is optimum at pH 5.0 and the process is well defined by Langmuir isotherm model. The process gets completed within 60 min following pseudo-second order rate kinetics. Adsorption is further confirmed by SEM, EDAX and FTIR analyses.
