The Effectiveness of Orange Peel in Removing Nickel in Wastewater

Increasing of water pollution caused by nickel metal has led to a serious threat to public health. Besides, the conventional method to remove heavy metals in wastewater is found to be very expensive and not really effective. Adsorption of nickel ion using orange skin is found to be a suitable alt...
