Cowpea pod (Vigna unguiculata) biomass as a low-cost biosorbent for removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution

The use of cowpea pod (CPP) biomass for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of factors such as dosage concentration (0.2 to 1.6 g L−1), pH (2 to 8), contact time (5 to 120 min), metal ion concentrations (10 to 80 mg L−1) and temperature (20 to 50 °C) were e...
