title: Potentiometric studies of metal-biomass interaction with reference to bioaccumulation.
abstract: An electrochemical experiment (Linear Polarization) has been carried out to illustrate the binding of Cd2+ and Pb2+ by Moringa oleifera seed powder. Reduction in Open Circuit Potential (OCP) value indicates a decrease in the metal concentration due to the binding of metal ions at the active sites of biomass. Maximum sorption of Cd2+ and Pb2+ was calculated by the use of Nernst equation and found to be 81.85 and 85.45% respectively.
