Adsorption of Cu (II), Mn (II) and Zn (II) by Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleiden: Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of the free floating freshwater macrophyte Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleiden from the phoomdi of Loktak lake, India as an adsorbent to remove Cu (II), Mn (II) and Zn(II) ions from single, binary and ternary metal solution system was investigated.

Functionalized adsorbents prepared from fruit peels: Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies for copper adsorption in aqueous solution
Luis A. Romero-Cano,Luis A. Romero-Cano,Helena García-Rosero,Linda V. González-Gutiérrez,Leonardo A. Baldenegro-Pérez,Francisco Carrasco-Marín +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a vacuum drying process followed by a citric acid chemical treatment to increase the porosity and active sites on the peels surface; FTIR studies after chemical treatment showed only signals attributed to R OH and R COOH functional groups, present on the biosorbents surface.

Characterization of Pb, Cu, and Cd adsorption on particulate organic matter in soil.
Xueyan Guo,Shuzhen Zhang,Xiao-quan Shan,Lei Luo,Zhiguo Pei,Yong-Guan Zhu,Tao Liu,Yaning Xie,Andrew G. Gault +8 more
TL;DR: Adsorption of the heavy metals Pb, Cu, and Cd on a loamy soil and on POM separated from this soil was investigated and suggested that Pb and Cu adsorption on Pom was mainly through inner-sphere complexes with carboxyl and hydroxyl groups.
