Abstract

Mesoporous carbon-doped TiO2 (MCT) was synthesized via a template-free method in combination with solvothermal treatments. The structure, particle size and composition of this adsorbent were measured using XRD, TEM and XPS. Also, the usability of isothermal models for Cu (II) onto mesostructured adsorbent was implicated in these cases. The adsorptive capacity of MCT for Cu (II) was assessed using ICP-MS technique. The maximal adsorptive capacity was 16.9 mg g-1, and the ion-exchange action of Cu (II) was found to be the predominant adsorption.
