ABSTRACT
Biosorption is a cost-effective technology for the removal of soluble heavy metals from aqueous solution. In the present investigation, Aloe Vera has been used as an adsorbent for removal of heavy metal copper from synthetic aqueous solution of copper sulphate by biosorption using batch process. Aloe Vera for copper ion removal was investigated as a function of pH, dose, initial concentration, contact time and temperature. The kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics were also studied for this batch study.
