Copper adsorption onto calcium alginate encapsulated magnetic sorbent is studied in this paper. The objective of this study was to qualitatively and quantitatively elucidate the copper binding onto the sorbent. The adsorption increases from around 0 to almost 100% as the initial pH is increased from...
