چکیده    The removal of copper {cu(ii)} and zinc {zn(ii)} ions from aqueous solution has been investigated using ground ficus religiosa leaves (gfrl). the characterization of gfrl was performed using chns analyzer,x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscope (sem). the effect of contact time and initial concentration was observed at 33±1°c. the biosorption of cu(ii) and zn(ii) on gfrl showed fast kinetic behavior with an equilibrium time ~ 60 minutes. the pseudo second order kinetics described the kinetic behavior. the optimum gfrl dose was 10 g/l in case of both metals. the effect of initial metal concentration showed the performance of gfrl under various mass transfer driving forces and was well described by langmuir model with qmax: 28.02 mg/g for cu(ii) and 24.90 mg/g for zn(ii). © 2015 university of agriculture. all rights reserved.
