Removal of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate from aqueous solution by adsorption onto pine cone biomass of Pinus Radiate: equilibrium, thermodynamic, kinetics, mechanism and process design

This study was undertaken to evaluate the adsorption potential of a natural, low-cost agricultural by-product adsorbent, Pine cone (Pinus Radiate), to remove sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) from aqueous solution. It was found that the extent of SDS adsorption by pine cone biomass increased with initial...
