In order to well understand adsorption behavior and characteristics of Cu~(2+),Zn~(2+),Mn~(2+) onto diatomite in liquid /solid system,and provide sufficient theoretical basis for application of diatomite in treatment of wastewater containing heavy metal ions,a series of static adsorption tests were conducted to investigate adsorption condition,property,behavior and characteristic of Cu~(2+),Zn~(2+),Mn~(2+) onto diatomite comprehensively. As result indicate,the effect of diatomite adding quantity and ion initial concentration on adsorption of Cu...
