Currently, there is increasing interest on low cost and commercially available materials for the adsorp-tion of heavy metals. The vital benefits of adsorption technologies are its potential in reducing the concentration of heavy metal ions using low-cost adsorbent materials. Fruit peel wastes (FPW)...
