Activated Periwinkle Shells for the Binding and Recognition of Heavy Metal Ions from Aqueous Media

Kehinde N. Awokoya, Rasheed O. Sanusi, Vincent O. Oninla & Olumuyiwa M. Ajibade · International Research Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry · 2017

The potential of a low-cost periwinkle shell powder (PSP) for the adsorption of Cr(II) and Zn(II) ions from aqueous media was investigated by batch mode. The PSP produced was chemically activated with 0.1M H2SO4. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrosco...
