Adsorption of Cu2+ ions on humic acids

Abstract: Commercial samples of humic acids (Fluka AG) were used to evaluate the adsorption behaviour of Cu2+ ions. The mathematical model described by Langmuir's adsorption equation was applied and the values of the maximum adsorption capacity b and those of the constant related to the bonding energy a were obtained. Aliquots of copper nitrate solutions with different copper concentrations were added to the humic acid suspensions at constant pH values (4.0 and 5.0). The Langmuir isotherms presented two distinct adsorpt… Show more

“…The latter are able to carry copper ions via colloidal transport. The dissolved organic matter, which has a high affinity for HMs as compared with the immobilized organic matter, increases the mobility of copper ions by forming soluble complexes with them [13,19].…”
