Cellulose, a natural polymer, was used as an adsorbent for the adsorption of Cu(II) ions from the aqueous solutions of copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO 4 β’ 5H 2 O) at different temperatures and a fixed pH. The amount adsorbed increased with increasing concentration of Cu(II) ions; however, it did n

## Abstract The removal of copper ions from aqueous effluents by chitosan was studied in equilibrium and agitated batch contacting systems. The sorption capacities of chitosan for copper ions are 1.26 and 1.12 mmol g^β1^ at pH 3.5 and 4.5, respectively. The equilibrium experimental data were best c
## Abstract The adsorption of five acid dyes onto chitosan, derived through the deacetylation of crabβshell chitin, from aqueous solutions was studied. The equilibrium isotherms were measured and analyzed with the Langmuir, Freundlich, and RedlichβPeterson equations; the results correlated well wit
In this study, the sorption of Hg(II) onto pyrite was investigated as a function of the aqueous solution pH. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterize the surfaces, and to identify the adsorbed species when possible. After 12 h of equilibration at a given initial pH (between 6
