Lignocellulosic materials as potential biosorbents of trace toxic metals from wastewater

The potential capability ofArundo donax stems, Brazil nutshells, sugarcane bagasse, and sawdust from a native wood species (Prosopis ruscifolia) to sequester trace metals from wastewater was comparatively examined using dilute aqueous solutions of Cd(II) or Ni(II) ions as models. Brazil nutshells sh...
