Abstract : Biosorption removes pollutants such as heavy metals onto a natural adsorbent, so it can be considered as a promising method of water purification. The objectives of this research were to examine the application of aquatic weed Myriophyllum spicatum immobilized in alginate beads – MsA for the removal of copper from aqueous solutions. Appield biosorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Experimental results were fitted by six isotherm models, and have showed that MsA holds great potential for copper removal, q = 1.307 mmol/ Results of TOC analyses showed that after Myriophyllum spicatum immobilization process , total organic carbon in MsA was more than four times less than with aquatic weed M. spicatum, 18.8 mg/L compared to 81.2 mg/L of TOC. Keywords - Biosorption, Removal of Copper, Immobilized Aquatic Weed.
