Biosorption of copper by water hyacinth roots

Biomass of non-living dried water hyacinth roots, Eichhornia crassipes, showed high sorption for copper from aqueous solutions. Maximum sorption was 20.90 mg Cu/g as determined from Langmuir isotherm. Several factors affecting sorption were investigated. They include effect of pH, initial concentrat...
