The Use of Activated and Non-Activated Tar Sands as Adsorbents for Copper Ion Removal

Jordanian tar sands were used as an adsorbent for the removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions. Experimental results showed that the adsorption of Cu 2+ ions onto tar sands was pH- and temperature-dependent. Copper ion uptake increased with increasing pH, temperature and initial adsorbate conce...
