Experimental and numerical study for the adsorption behavior of Cu(II) and Mn(II) in quartz sand

Abstract Heavy metals such as Cu(II) and Mn(II) are prevalent in the environment. The effect of heavy on soils environment is based ability to mobilize these contaminants. According soil decontamination perspective, examining reaction technique between indispensable. This study carried out experiments investigate adsorption behaviour quartz sand. isothermal results for presented that capacity reached peak value when initial concentration was about 10 mg/L. declines H + ions could uprise rate activity decrease desorption ions. lower than under situation a low pH range with solid acidic Mn(II). Freundlich Langmuir isotherm models were applied confirmed model synchronous best observed experimental data compared solution.
