Comparative Study on the Adsorption Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Metal Ions onto Acid Activated Low Cost Pandanus Carbon

Batch experiments were carried out for the sorption of Copper and Ferrous ions onto acid activated carbon prepared. The operating variables studied were initial metal ion concentration, pH, and temperature and contact time. The equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equ...
