Abstract
Cu2+ adsorbs onto modified bone gelatin beads as a function of pH. The amount of Cu2+ adsorbed is similar to that which has been shown to be adsorb onto other biological materials including bacterial biomass. Langmuir adsorption isotherms were fitted to this data and both the asymptotic maximum solid-phase concentration and the equilibrium constant for these isotherms are presented as a function of the solution pH. The adsorption rate for a typical set of experimental conditions is presented.
