ZoP The Use of Chanos chanos (Milkfish) Scales as Copper Biosorbent in Waste Water

autorzy: Alfonso Miguel H. Abangan

With the use of larger amount of milkfish scales (7.0 grams) and with longer contact time (4 days), more copper ions were adsorbed into the surface of the scales. Thus, Chanos chanos (Milkfish) scales, which are discarded waste materials and are in abundance in the local market, have high possibility and efficiency in removing copper metal ions in waste water. It is a promising biosorbent and poses as an eco-friendly biosorbent to society and environment. The findings of this study will serve as an avenue for future commercial production of milkfish scales in the removal of copper from waste water.
