Kinetics Study of The Ability of Compost Material for Removing 〖Cu〗^(2+) from Wastewater
Abstract:The objective of this study is to examine the ability of a compost material for removing Cu 2+ from aqueous solutions with different parameters using continuous fixed-bed column. Compost was characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy which revealed that the metal binding is mainly contributed to the ionic interaction of the metal cations with the carboxyl groups in the hemic substances. Scanning electron microscope images were utilized for morphological analysis of the adsorbent and has rev… Show more
