Response surface methodology for optimization of Cd(II) adsorption from wastewaters by fabricated tartaric acid-maize tassel magnetic hybrid sorbent

Maize tassels (MT), an agro-based biomass waste was carbonised followed by thermo-chemical modification using tartaric acid. The functionalized activated carbon was further modified to yield a magnetic hybrid composite adsorbent. The adsorbent was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR...
