A Comparative Study of Copper and Zinc Ion Adsorption on to Activated and Non-activated Date-pits
Date-pits (an agricultural by-product available commercially) were utilized, with and without activation, as an adsorbent for the removal of Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ ions from aqueous solutions. Activated carbons were prepared from date-pits by carbon dioxide activation at 700°C. The effects of contact time,...
