Abstract :

In this present investigation, activated carbons prepared from marine green algae Ulva fasciata (CCUC, SCUC and SSUC) were utilized as the adsorbents for the removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption method was employed to optimize the process parameter. The surface morphology, chemical functional groups and crystalline nature of the carbon absorbents were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X–ray Diffraction (XRD) respectively. The FTIR results show that the different functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, ether, alcohol, phosphate anion, cyanide and sulphate etc. were responsible for the adsorption process. And the XRD analysis indicates crystalline nature of adsorbents.
