REMOVAL OF Ni (II) AND Pb (II) FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY ADSORPTION ONTO Vitex simplicifolia NUT ACTIVATED CARBON

Key Points

• Effective adsorption of Ni (II) and Pb (II) from aqueous solutions on activated carbon was achieved, indicating high removal efficiency.
• The study demonstrated over 90% removal of Ni (II) and Pb (II) ions, showcasing the activated carbon's capacity as an adsorbent.
• Assessment using batch adsorption experiments revealed that the activated carbon significantly reduces heavy metal ions in water.
• These findings highlight the potential of Vitex simplicifolia activated carbon for practical applications in wastewater treatment.
