Peanut Shell Activated Carbon: Adsorption Capacities for Copper(II), Zinc(II), Nickel(II) and Chromium(VI) Ions from Aqueous Solutions

The adsorption of copper(II), zinc(II), nickel(II) and chromium(VI) ions from aqueous solutions onto an activated carbon produced from peanut shell was studied as a function of the concentration of the ions and the pH value. The amounts of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) ions adsorbed increased with incre...
