ABSTRACT
Removal of Nickel (II) from aqueous solution using Pomegranate peel powder as a new biosorbent was studied. Investigations have been made to study various sorption parameters such as biomass amount, contact time, pH, temperature and initial ion concentration. The selected adsorbent was effective for the removal of Nickel (II) ions in acidic medium and attained the equilibrium in 30 minutes. The adsorption process is endothermic in nature. This adopted method is quite feasible, economic, time saving and low cost.
