Adsorción de plomo y cadmio en soluciones acuosas utilizando la pared celular del raquis de banano

Abstract

Pollution of water bodies throughout the world is mainly due to the different anthropogenic activities, which are not controlled in their entirety and due to this it increases daily and is considered as a threat which is affecting each of the species that exist on the planet. Lignocellulosic waste from bananas, such as rachis, is one of the most abundant in the province of El Oro, so its use and recovery is of great technical and socio-economic importance. The objective of the present investigation was the study adsorption of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in aqueous solutions.
