Abstract. The absorption behavior of Cu2+ from aqueous solution on sulfuric acid treated palygorskite were investigated, the results showed that palygorskite had high absorption ability for Cu 2+ from aqueous solution. Effects of the shaking time, pH and the copper ion concentration on the removal rate were discussed. The absorption behavior of Cu 2+ could be well imitated by the Langmuir isothermal equation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
