Abstract

Moss was successfully immobilized on silica substrate and used in adsorption procedure that removed copper, cadmium and zinc from waste water. Several parameters that can affect metals uptake such as particle size, pH and metal ion concentration were described. At the optimal conditions, the copper, cadmium and zinc ions removal from aqueous solutions arc 85, 87 and 92 %, respcctivcly. After the adsorption of metal ions, the analyte retained in he moss-silica gel resin could be recovered almost completely by eluting with dilute hydrochloric acid. The method was applied to removal of copper, cadmium and zinc present in the laboratory waste water.
