Chemical Modifications of Cassava Peel as Adsorbent Material for Metals Ions from Wastewater by Daniel Schwantes, Affonso Celso Gonçalves, Gustavo Ferreira Coelho, Marcelo Angelo Campagnolo, Douglas Cardoso Dragunski, César Ricardo Teixeira Tarley, Alisson Junior Miola, Eduardo Ariel Völz Leismann

“…Residues from the processing of cassava roots (Manihot esculenta Crantz), or cassava peels, are evaluated as chemically modified adsorbents with H2O2, H2SO4, and NaOH, in the removal of metal ions Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cr(III) from contaminated water. Modified adsorbents were chemically characterized for their chemical composition and pHPZC (point of zero charge), while adsorption tests determined the best conditions of pH, adsorbent mass, and contact time between adsorbent and adsorbate in the process of removal of the metal ions. …”
