A natural wheat straw was used as adsorbent for removal of copper and methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. A batch system was applied to study the behavior of Cu2+ and MB adsorption in single and binary systems on wheat straw. In the single systems, there was no significant difference in the quantity of MB adsorbed onto wheat straw within a pH range of 4.0 to 10.0. But for Cu2+, the optimal pH is about 5. Kinetic studies indicate that Cu2+ and MB adsorption on the wheat straw follows the Elovich equation. The Cu2+ adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir and Redlich−Peterson models, while MB adsorption follows the Redlich−Peterson isotherm. The adsorption capacities of Cu2+ and MB at 273 K and pH 5 are (7.05 and 60.66) mg·g−1, respectively. In the binary system, Cu2+ and MB exhibited competitive adsorption. The adsorption of Cu2+ or MB is considerably reduced with an increasing concentration of the other. The quantity of Cu2+ adsorbed is more strongly influenced by MB due to the higher affinity of w...
