Removal of lead ions from aqueous solution by the dried aquatic plant, Lemna perpusilla Torr.

► We found dried Lemna perpusilla Torr. acted as a respective adsorbent for Pb removal. ► We found the adsorption isotherm followed Langmuir model. ► We found the adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model. ► We found Pb(II) adsorption on the biomass could be physical and chemical.
