Summary, etc. Batch adsorption studies have been carried out to remove Cu (II) and Ni (II) ion from aqueous solution using cellulose extracted from sisal fiber and cellulose-g-acrylonitrile copolymer by steam explosion method. The effect of <em>p</em>H, contact time and amount of adsorbent dose have also been investigated for both cellulose extracted from sisal fiber and cellulose-g-acrylonitrile copolymer . From the observed results, it is evident that the adsorption of metal ions increases with the increase in contact time and adsorbent dosage. The optimum <em>p</em>H is found to be 5.0 for the removal of copper (II) and nickel (II) for both the extracted cellulose and cellulose-g-acrylonitrile copolymer. The adsorption kinetics of cellulose and cellulose-g-acrylonitrile is found to follow pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental data are fitted to Langmuir adsorption isotherms for both cellulose extracted from sisal fiber and cellulose-g-acrylonitrile copolymer. From the results it is concluded that the cellulose graft acrylonitrile copolymer is found to be efficient adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from aqeous solutions.
