Adsorption behaviors of ETS-10 and its variant, ETAS-10 on the removal of heavy metals, Cu2+, Co2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ from a waste water

Jong Hun Choi, +3 more
- 26 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the same authors applied nano-sized large pored titanium silicate zeolitic materials, ETS-10 and ETAS-10 with different Al2O3/TiO2 ratio to the removal of heavy metal ions, in particular, Cu2+, Co2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ using batch mode.

Adsorption of copper(II) ions by a chitosan–oxalate complex biosorbent

Fwu Long Mi, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: The COCB bioadsorbent exhibited fast adsorption rate and high adsor adaptation capacity for Cu(II) uptake, suggesting that the rate-limiting step in adsorptive step was chemical sorption.
