Nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) supported on activated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as an adsorbent applied towards Pb(II), As(V) and Cd(II) remediation from industrial wastewater. The result revealed the hydrophilic surface of MWCNTs-KOH was enhanced with the incorporation of NiNPs...
