Marine macroalgae Pelvetia canaliculata (Linnaeus) as natural cation exchanger for metal ions separation: A case study on copper and zinc ions removal

The aim of this study was to investigate the cation exchange capacity of the macro-algae Pelvetia canaliculata (Linnaeus) for Cu2+ and Zn2+ removal from aqueous solutions in a batch system. Carboxylic and sulfonic groups present in the surface of the macroalgae are the main functional groups respons...
