Five marine macroalgae namely, Sargassum Polycystum sp. (Brown),Kappa Stratum sp. (Red),Euchema Spinosum sp.(Red), Kappa Alverezir sp (Red), and Caulerpa Lentifera sp.(green) were screened for their metal uptake capacities for Cu at various initial concentrations 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/L and variable contact period 5 to 300 minutes. The cu uptake value in the different species were in the order of Euchema Sphinosum sp.> Sargassum Polycystum sp. > Caulerpa Lentifera sp. > Kappa Alverezi sp. > Kappa Stratum sp. The effect of contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage were studied. The values of Freundlich model constants (1/n ranged from 0.1253 and 0.1962) and Langmuir isotherm indicated good biosorption. specialized Nur Syazwani Mohd Khir Faculty of Civil Engineering and Earth Resources Project Paper (Bachelors of Civil Engineering) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang – 2019 Includes bibliographical references Faculty of Civil Engineering and Earth Resources Disertations Universities and colleges Disertations Theses THE0008734(Local) UMP 200710 20251125105553.0 eng
