Studies of Various Adsorbents for the Removal of Copper (II) from Drinking Water

Abstract: Copper is a heavy metal that can harm the human’s body through water if present in excessive amount. The presence of metal in drinking water is of special concern because of its persistence and toxicity. Therefore, the elimination of copper from water and waste water is important to protect public health. Different adsorbents are used to remove copper from water. In present review paper, copper contamination, its toxicity and its removal from drinking water using different adsorbents is depicted
