Removal of cu2+ using utricularia aurea as a biosorbent in synthetic industrial wastewater/ Nor Azliza Akbar
Biosorption of copper ions (Cu2+) using Utricularia Aurea has been investigated as a function of pH, contact time and particle size of the biosorbent. A series of batch equilibrium adsorption study was conducted to determine the effect of varied pH from pH 2, 4, 7, and 9, contact time at 30, 60, 90...
