Carbonate hydroxyapatite prepared by abandoned eggshell was used in the study on its adsorption for Zn^2+ in wastewater. Tests were made on the factors influencing the adsorption effect, which included pH value, adsorption time, temperature, absorbent dosage and the initial concentration of Zn^2+ . The results showed that carbonate hydroxyapatite had a very good effect of adsorption for Zn^2+ . At an initial concentration of Zn^2+ of 50 mg/L, carbonate hydroxyapatite dosage of 3 g/L, pH of 6, temperature of 35 ℃ and adsorption time of 1 h,...
