Popis: Composite adsorbents are synthesized from two or more materials with different chemical and physical properties in order to increase their selectivity and the reusability. Researchers have developed and applied several novel composite materials for enhancing the removal of heavy metal. In this review, extensive list of composites developed via advanced technologies with specified characteristics for the removal of Cu (II) ion are discussed. Emphases on their adsorption capacities, reusability, desorption and regeneration with improved mechanical strengths are presented. Conclusively, prospects and other challenges to be checked and addressed in future are outlined.
