Abstract
⺠The Castor leaf powder presented a reactive surface which enables metal ions adsorption through chemisorption process. ⺠The predominance of macroporous enables water diffusion and metal ions may be adsorbed inside the pores. ⺠The Castor leaf powder was used in the removal of metal species from river water. ⺠An enrichment factor of 45 enable the determination of Cd(II) and Pd(II) ions. ⺠Method validation was performed through an analysis of certified water standards.
