From the results of characterisation, the GG had the merits of high specific surface area, significant adsorption sites and functional groups. Copper-adsorption significantly depends on the initial copper concentrations, contact time, pH, adsorbent doses, particle sizes and temperature. The positive values of ΔG° indicates that the adsorption of copper onto garden grass is non-spontaneous and values lies within the ranges of 4.452-13.660kJ/mol for supporting physical adsorption. 0.1N H2SO4 was found as suitable eluent, which could be used 5 cycles of adsorption-desorption. The data from adsorption and desorption equilibrium were well fitted by the Langmuir, SIPS and Redlich-Peterson isotherm models. The maximum adsorption and desorption capacities were 58.34 and 319.03mg/g, respectively, for 1g dose. Adsorption and desorption kinetics could be described by the Pseudo-first-order model. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Adsorbent dose,Adsorption desorption,Adsorption site,Contact time,Copper concentration,Copper ions,Desorption kinetics,Garden grass,High specific surface area,Langmuirs,Physical adsorption,Positive value,Pseudo-first-order,Redlich-Peterson isotherms[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Adsorption,Copper(II),Desorption,Equilibrium,Garden grass,Kinetics[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research was supported by Research Theme of Sustainable Water: Wastewater Treatment and Reuse Technologies, Centre for Technology in Water and Wastewater (CTWW), School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) and UTS International Postgraduate Research Scholarship.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2012.06.119[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
