    REMOVAL OF COPPER IONS FROM POLLUTED WATER BY ACTIVATED CARBON
    (UMT.Lahore, 2016) FAKHRA ASHRAF
    There are many sources of water pollution. Most of them are city sewage and industrial waste which are removed in rivers, sea and canals etc. Heavy metals released in the environment that create global problem. Water pollution is damage of streams, lakes, underground water, sounds, or seas by substances unsafe to living things. Removal of copper ion is done by activated carbon. The process is use for their removal of copper. Metal are removed by using activated carbon. By using oxidizer as adsorbent metals are removed from aqueous solution. The major advantage of activated carbon is inexpensive and cheap. The main point of this work was to achievement low cost and effective adsorbents for the removal of Cu using tamarind stone carbon. It was detected from the experimental results that almost 90percent copper can be separate from the solution. Adsorption have been examined as a purpose of initial Cu (II) ion concentration, Particle size, pH and temperature. Data were studied using spectrophotometer. On the basis of experimental results it can be concluded that the carbonaceous tamarind is effective for the elimination of Cu (II) from solution.
