In the experimental studies, zeolite mineral which is 25-140 mesh size was used by activating with 0.1 M HCl, and copper ion removal efficiencies were deteimined. Experiences that were under batch condition were studied at different pH values, temperatures and shaking speeds. In the studies, at different pH's; maximum efficiency was found as about 87% at pH 5. Similarly, experiments were carried out at different temperature values, and the maximum efficiency was obtained at 30 degrees C. The efficiency obtained under these conditions is 89.95%. The highest copper removal efficiency was obtained at 200 rpm, and the removal efficiency was measured as 89.62%.en10.1007/978-3-540-95991-5_78info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHeavy metalCopperAdsorptionZeoliteClinoptiloliteRemoval efficiencyConference Object831840N/AWOS:000396778200078N/A
