Pineapple plant stem (PPS) was used to sequester Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution via adsorption. The PPS was chemically modified with organic acids and results showed the oxalic acid (OA) modified PPS (OAPPS) gave a better performance on the adsorption of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) io...
