Adsorption of copper using modified and unmodified sugarcane bagasse

This study compares the adsorption capacity of sugarcane bagasse and microwave incinerated sugarcane bagasse ash (MISCBA) for the adsorption of copper from aqueous solution. Parameters of importance that were investigated include initial pH, contact times, initial metal concentrations and adsorbent...
