Adsorption of Copper and Cadmium by Coconut Coir Activated Carbon

Activated carbon was prepared from coconut coir and adsorption of copper and cadmium by the activated carbon was examined. Batch adsorption tests showed that extent of metal adsorption was dependent on metal concentration, contact time, pH and carbon dose. Adsorption was low at acidic pH and increas...
