Abstract
The adsorption technique using coconut husk was applied for the removal of Ni2+ ions from aqueous samples. The dried and powdered husk was contacted with acidified formaldehyde and the product so obtained is highly efficient in adsorbing Ni2+ ions from the solutions. The extent of removal/adsorption was dependent upon
the pH, amount of adsorbent used and the time of contact The
sorbent is effective for quantitative removal of Ni2+ ions in alkaline
conditions and equilibrium has been achieved in 1 h. This method
is quite feasible, economic, time saving and low cost.
