Study for Absorption Heavy Metals by Pickled Diatomite

Article Preview

Abstract:

The removal of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solution was studied using pickled diatomite samples. The linear Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption equations were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models were used to determine the kinetic data. The experimental data were well fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
