Abstract:The ability of natural zeolite to remove copper ions from an aqueous solution was examined. The research aims to optimize adsorption operational variables, which include the amount of zeolite, pH, contact time, and initial heavy metal concentration for copper removal using zeolite. The research was conducted in batch experiments. The ranges of operational conditions are as follows: 0.2 - 1.0 g of zeolite, pH 4 - 8, 2 - 60 minutes of contact time, and 5 - 50 mg/L of initial concentration of copper. The outcomes… Show more
