COPPER ION ABSTRACTION FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS USING SUGAR INDUSTRY RESIDUAL AS AN ADSORBENT ........

The removal of copper from aqueous solution utilising a sugar industry residue was described in this work. The sugar industry residual adsorbent material was employed as is, with no modifications or treatments. SEM analysis was used to characterise the adsorbent and identify changes in the surface that indicate metal ion (copper) removal from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were used to conduct the adsorption tests. The adsorbent's copper adsorption capacity was calculated as a function of the pH of the solution, the initial concentration of the solution, and the contact time. The findings suggest that the adsorbent has a lot of potential for removing copper from aqueous solutions. As a result, sugar industry waste has been examined as a novel low-cost adsorbent for removing copper from aqueous solutions.
