The natural bentonite and bentonite/iron oxide composite were used as sorbents of Cu(II). Their sorption properties were examined under the different conditions such as pH of the solution, initial metal ion concentration. The bentonite removed 71 % Cu(II) while composite 90 %. Their maximum adsorption capacities were 34.1 and 44.4 mg Cu(II) g -1, r...
