“…Because of that, the adsorbates selected in this study are organic acid species, EDTA and H 2 C 2 O 4 , which can get into waste waters of the textile industry, cellulose and paper industry, food industry, production of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, etc. Nowadays more attention is paid to purification of waste waters by using old and designing new methods for removal of harmful components that have different physicalchemical characteristics (Penavin-Skundric et al, 2012;Sladojevic et al, 2013;Skundric et al, 2004). Adsorption is one of the most frequently used methods thanks to its performance simplicity, as well as efficiency, and to the greatest extent it is determined by adsorbent characteristics, in terms of finding adsorbents of high selectivity, adsorption capacity and ecological acceptability (De Haro-Del Rio et al, 2018;Greg and Sing, 1982;Inglezakis, 2010;Penavin-Skundric et al, 2013;Sucurovic, 2017).…”
