“…A variety of technologies have been applied for the treatment of waters contaminated with copper ions, among which the adsorption process is considered the most favorable alternative [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. A series of materials were involved in Cu (II) adsorption, such as fly ash (FA) and modified fly ash [ 15 , 16 ], manganese ore [ 17 ], LSX zeolite [ 18 ], zeolite 4A [ 19 ], mesoporous silica [ 20 ], macro algae [ 21 ], and chitosan-based biodegradable composite [ 22 ]. Different methods have been developed for obtaining adsorbent materials, such as coprecipitation, chemical vapor depositions, plasma, electro-depositions, sol–gel, and ball milling.…”
