The Study of the Removal of Cu(II) from Aqueous Solution by Papia undulates Shell
In present study, the removal of Cu (II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated by both biosorption and investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The variable of the batch experiment include solution pH, content time, were conducted to determine the factors affecting capacities sorption of Cu (II). The experimental result explored that that the maximum pH for efficient sorption of Cu (II) was 9. The optimum condition of sorption were found to be contact time of 180 min, and initial Cu concentration 200 mg/L, while the result of XRD reveal that the Paphia undulate shell have aragonite phase and change to mixture phase after sorption which corresponding, with the result of EDXRF which increasing the concentration of Cu
