Completely mixed batch reactor (CMBR) technique was used
to remove heavy metals, anions and COD from textile wastewater.
Adsorption experiments were performed by agitating
0.5 g of sorbents with 50 mL of textile wastewater at room
temperature in magnetic mixer with the rotating speed of
600 rpm. At the end of predetermined time intervals, the sorbate
was filtered and the concentration of heavy metals, anions
and COD was determined. All experiments were carried out
twice. Table 2 shows the characteristics of the wastewater
(wastewater was collected from the en
