CHANGE IN pH AND CONDUCTIVITY DURING THE RINSING AND THE BIOSORPTION OF COPPER IONS ONTO PUMPKIN PEEL
The changes in pH and conductivity during the rinsing of the pumpkin peel, and the biosorption of Cu2+ ions, were the subject of this work. The obtained data showed that the pH value of the solutions increased during the rinsing of the biosorbent, as a result of the transfer of H+ ions from the aqueous phase into the structure of the pumpkin peel. ...

ADSORPTION OF COPPER IONS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS USING SUNFLOWER HEADS AS AN ADSORBENT
In this paper, the results of changes in pH and conductivity values of the solutions during the rinsing of the adsorbent, as well as during the adsorption of copper ions were presented. Prior to the adsorption experiments, the sunflower heads were rinsed with 200 cm3 of distilled water in ten equal portions (20 cm3 each). After each water volume pa...
