Biosorption of Cr (III) from Polluted Water Using Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst (Kikuyo) [PDF]

Molecules
Given the abundance of kikuyu biomass resulting from the pruning of green areas, the aim of this study was to evaluate its use as a biosorbent (BK) for Cr (III) removal from polluted waters. The biomass was activated using H2SO4 (1.25%) and NaOH (3.25%).
