The sorption properties of active carbons modified with fullerenes with respect to copper, silver, and lead cations in aqueous solutions

Abstract

The sorption of nonferrous metal cations from aqueous media on active carbons modified with fullerenes was studied. The introduction of fullerenes into active carbons increased the sorption capacity by 1.5–2 times with respect to copper, 2–5 times with respect to silver, and 1.3–1.6 times with respect to lead.
