Özet

Adsorption of heavy metal ions from wastewater on untreated diatomite was studied. The effect of particle size of the adsorbent (4.76, 3.15 and 2.00 mm) on adsorption efficiency Of Cu2+ Pb2+ and Zn2+, in a ternary, continuous system at constant temperature was investigated. Adsorption capacity was increased with decreasing particle size, and the adsorption order was Cu2+> Pb2+> Zn2+ with the 2.00 mm particle adsorbent.
