Abstract

This study was conducted on the pumice supplied from the Van Province, Turkey. The physicochemical properties of CuCl2 at pH 5 were studied and the analyses were performed at a temperature of 308 degrees K at various concentrations (75 ppm, 100 ppm, 125 ppm) of Cu(II). In this study, we aimed to investigate the adsorption behavior between the Van pumice and Cu(II).
