摘要：The study examined adsorption of copper and cadmium by the activated carbonprepared from coconut coir. Batch adsorption test showed that extent of metaladsorption was dependent on metal concentration, contact time, pH and carbondose. Adsorption was low at acidic pH and increased with increase in pH. Adsorptioncapacity of the activated carbon for copper and cadmium was evaluated byadsorption isotherm test and compared with that of a commercial activated carbon.The coconut coir activated carbon showed higher limiting capacity for adsorptionof copper and cadmium (84.74 mg/g and 68.03 mg/g) than that of the commercialactivated carbon (46.30 mg/g and 14.90 mg/g).
