 The research conducted on new sorption materials based on silica-doped activated carbon demonstrated that the material has a high surface area of approximately 150 m2.g1, a chemical composition and structure confirmed by SEM slash EDS, XRD, TG slash DTA and FTIR, and the ability to remove copper ions from water. The sorption kinetics of copper ions was described by a pseudo-second order model, and the Langmuir model was used to plot the sorption isotherm. The maximum sorption capacity of copper ions was 37.74 ngg1, which is a satisfactory result and demonstrates the potential use of this material for drinking water filtration.
