摘要: Powdered maize tassels were studied and found to exhibit metal sorption properties due the availability of functional groups. The have a high amount soluble organic substances that can dissolve in aqueous media, contributing secondary pollution during water treatment process. A chelating agent was chemically attached on with view increase capacity, minimize leaching, enhance tassels’ stability. Thermogravimetric analysis confirmed modification improved their thermal stability withstand temperatures above 600°C as well reduced “secondary pollution”. modified sorbent employed for lead, copper, cadmium ions both model solutions real samples. contact time pH optimized after which Langmuir Freundlich isotherms applied data. capacities Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+ from 3.4, 0.8, 1.7 g kg−1, respectively, 6.3, 2.6, 2.6 g kg−1 sam...
