USE OF COCONUT BAGASSE AS ALTERNATIVE ADSORBENT FOR SEPARATION OF COPPER (II) IONS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS: ISOTHERMS, KINETICS, AND THERMODYNAMIC STUDIES
The use of coconut bagasse as an adsorbent for the treatment of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions has been investigated. The adsorbent was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, including zeta potential and pH effects. To assess the possibility of removing Cu(II) from aqueous solutions by this sor...
