The recovery of gold(III) ions from an aqueous solution onto a durio zibethinus husk (DZH) was examined after varying pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial Au(III) concentration, and temperature. The functional groups of DZH were analyzed by FTIR and Au(III) recovery onto DZH was verified by F...
