Rabah... The employed method is based on the positive charge of the metal ion. To specify the type of metal, you need to go for atomic absorption or spectrophotometric methods that have specific response (wave length) for each metal to tell the right metal.... good luck
These biomass types serve as a basis for newly developed metal biosorption processes foreseen particularly as a competitive means for the detoxification of metal - bearing industrial effluents.........Plants absorb heavy metals along with essential elements from the soil and evolved different..... Atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and reflectance spectrometry can be used .For details consult https://www.science.gov
