REMOVAL OF LEAD AND COPPER USING RED ALGAE GRACILARIA CHANGII AND ITS ACTIVATED CARBON

Heavy metals are non-biodegradable elements that have many toxicological effects on human health and are detrimental to the environment. This study focuses on using red algae, Gracilaria changii, in raw and activated carbon form for removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution. This study consists...
