  ABSTRACT: Bone charcoal (BC) is being developed as a treatment for decontamination of polluted water. In this study, bone charcoal was obtained by pyrolysis of cow bones and tested for the elimination of copper from aqueous solutions. The minimum time to reach the removal equilibrium by adsorption was 10 min with a maximum of copper removal equal to 9615 mg/g. Different kinetics models were applied to fit the experimental data: the pseudo second-order model correlated the results with a linear correlation coefficient equal to 1.
