  By Osemeahon S. A., Nkafamiya I. I., Anioke D., Akinterinwa A., Adebayo I. T.

  Abstract: Abstract In demonstration of the effectiveness of immobilized Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) leaves (IMOL) for the removal of metal ions from waste water, the leaves of M. Oleifera were immobilized by entrapping them within a polymeric matrix of calcium alginate. The concentration of residual metal ions after sorption was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The result of sorption capacity of Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+ were found to be 99.59±0.061, …
