                         activation process was used to remove zinc ion from aqueous 
                         solution. The zinc adsorption was fast, with values above 98.0% 
                         removal after 5 min. The maximum removal achieved was 99.4% in 360 
                         min, at 30°C, pH 5.0, and initial zinc concentration of 10 mg 
                         L\−1. The adsorption process was adequately described by 
                         the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R 2 = 1.000), and data 
                         obtained from batch adsorption experiments fitted well with the 
                         Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity of zinc 
                         onto urban pruning waste biosorbent was 18.382 mg g\−1 at 
                         30°C. Thus, it is concluded that urban pruning waste can be used 
                         as a low-cost alternative biosorbent to remove zinc in aqueous 
                         solutions.",
