“…To date, different methods have been used for detecting Cu 2+ , such as atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, electrochemistry, colorimetry, and fluorescence. − Among them, colorimetry has been widely considered because it exhibits rapidity, simple operation, easy observation, and portability . In parallel with the development of the detection methods, many technologies have been reported for Cu 2+ removal, for instance, chemical precipitation, ion exchange, and membrane filtration. − Adsorption has wide-ranging applications in the removal of Cu 2+ by virtue of outstanding features, for example, simplicity, high efficiency, and low cost …”
