Adsorptive removal of heavy metals from wastewater using Cobalt-diphenylamine (Co-DPA) complex

Researchers synthesized a new cobalt-diphenylamine complex and tested it for removing heavy metals like cadmium, lead, and chromium from wastewater. The material showed strong adsorption capacity, with removal efficiency influenced by factors such as pH, dosage, and initial metal concentration. The study suggests this type of metal-organic complex could be an effective tool for treating industrial wastewater contaminated with heavy metals.
