Biosorption of copper (II) from aqueous solution by using dried water hyacinth (Eicchornia Crassipes)

This paper presents the results of research on capability of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as low cost biosorbent in removing Cu (II) from aqueous solution and to identify the optimum uptake of Cu (II) based on four parameters that are effect of adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, pH an...

A series of batch studies were conducted using different amount of water hyacinth (0.1 - 0.6 g), different concentration of Cu (II) solution range from 10 to 100 mg/L at various pH values and time, shaken with constant stirring speed of 120 rpm at room temperature.
