Use of ashes from combustion of meat and bone meal for removing Zn and Pb ions from aqueous solutions
Corn. meat-bone meal was incinerated, calcined at 600 degrees C, studied for sp. surface and pore size distribution and then used for adsorptive removal of Pb2+ and Zn2+ ions from their model solns. Presence of Zn2+ ions resulted in increasing the adsorption of Pb2+ ions, while the adsorption of Zn2+ ions was decreased when Pb2+ ions were present in the soln.
