Abstract:
Adsorbent materials derived from various sources have been used to treat wastewater that is contaminated with heavy metals. Bacterial Cellulose (BC) is one such material that has the potential to use as an adsorbent. BC and modified BC (CM-BC) were examined for the removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions. CM-BC adsorbent proved to be a better adsorbent for copper ions in solution compared to BC.
