Effects of Cu(II) on the Adsorption Behaviors of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) onto Kaolin
The adsorption of Cr(III) or Cr(VI) in the absence and presence of Cu(II) onto kaolin was investigated under pH 2.0–7.0. Results indicated that the adsorption rate was not necessarily proportional to the adsorption capacity. The solutions’ pH values played a key role in kaolin zeta potential (ζ), es...
