Batch kinetic experiments were conducted to investigate the feasibility of using carboxylmethyl cellulose (CMC)-stabilized nano zero valent iron (nZVI) particles for immobilization of Cu 2+ in water. The effects of nZVI concentration, pH, and initial concentration of Cu 2+ have been studied. Cu 2+immobilization increased from 59.10% to 98.10% as the nZVI concentration increased from 0.2 to 2.0 g/1. The adsorption kinetics of Cu 2+ ions was fitted to a pseudo-second order model and both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms fit experimental data. SEM-EDX indicates that slightly porous and fragile particles were formed due to the corrosion on the nZVI surface.
