Study of the Sorption of Cu(II) from Aqueous Solution Using Amusium pleuronectes Shell

Abstract:

In the present study batch biosorption studies were carried out for the adsorption of Cu (II) from aqueous solution with Amusium Pleuronectes shell. Variables of the batch experiments include initial concentration of Cu (II), solution pH, contact time, were investigated. The experimental results explored that the maximum pH for efficient sorption of Cu (II) was 9. The optimum conditions of sorption were found to be contact time of 200 min, initial Cu concentration 250 mg/L. Another that, the X-Ray Driffraction (XRD) was used to confirmed the binding site between the bio sorbent and the Cu (II) ions. From XRD pattern the result suggests that the mechanism of bio sorption is rather chemisorption than physical adsorption.
