<b>Biosorption of Cu (II) and Zn (II) with açaí endocarp <i>Euterpe oleracea</i> M. in contaminated aqueous solution

Current analysis investigates the capacity of the açaí endocarp (Euterpe oleracea M.) as a biosorbent for the removal of Cu2+ and Zn2+ in monoelementary water solutions. The best conditions for the ion adsorption process were pH of the solution at 4.0; 8 g L-1 of the biosorbent mass per volume of so...
