The sorption of lead (Pb) from aqueous solutions by using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) grown on nickel impregnated Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) was studied. In this study, we investigated the affection of the lead initial concentration on the sorption of the heavy metal from water. The isotherm of th...
