Adsorption of hazardous heavy metal copper(II) from aqueous effluents
AbstractThis study presents the adsorption results of copper(II) ions onto waste material fish (Dicentrarchus labrax) scales (FS). For this purpose; the optimization, equilibrium, kinetics, and adsorbent characterization studies were carried out. Optimum initial pH, initial Cu(II) concentration, temperature, and adsorbent concentration were determined to be …

Heavy Metal Pollution from Gold Mines: Environmental …
Bempah et al., found a concentration of 92.17 mg/kg in gold mine tailings in Ghana. Gold mining has greatly increased Cu concentration in the environment which upon release binds to particles of organic matter, clay minerals and sesquioxides leading to great accumulation in the soil . Copper exists in two states, oxidized state Cu(II), and ...
