Adsorption of Cu (II) from Aqueous Solution by Salacca Peel Based Activated Carbons

Arenst Andreas Arie, Hans Kristianto and Febe Apecsiana

In n 687.67 mg Cu(II)/g activated carbon. The kinetic study showed that the copper adsorption on the SPAC followed the pseudo-second order model. The results of this study indicated that SPAC was an effective adsorbent for removing copper ions from aqueous solutions.
