Adsorption is one of the most effective ways removing heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Pb etc from media. This research work investigated adsorption efficiency Calliandra surinamensis pod chaff (Powder Puff flower) for removal their aqueous solutions using its absorbent. C. was activated ZnCl2 solution in water. The carbon obtained characterized terms functional groups present FTIR which gave infra...

The flower pigment of Calliandria suninamensis is used folklorically as a colorant and a dye. The crude powdered sample and methanolic extract of the plant were subjected to phytochemical, proximate analysis and antioxidant activities. Parameters like moisture content, ash values and extractive values were determined. The methanolic extract was evaluated for its antioxidant/free radical scaveng...
