Abstract
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.
