This study deals with the enhancement of chromium (VI) removal by vacuum drying and plasma pre-treatments of cocolumber (Cocos nucifera) sawdust. For fixed adsorbent dose and pH, the effects of important parameters such as initial adsorbate concentration and contact time are determined. Results show...
