Introduction. Apricots (Prunus armeniaca L.) have an important role in Serbia's fruit production. Average annual production of 25,035 t generates approximately 1,577 t apricot stone (AS) waste and most of it ends up in landfill sites. In order to minimize the environmental impact, an investigation of the possible use of AS was done by developing a biosorbent for wastewater treatment. Materials and methods. AS waste from the fruit processing industry was used to remove Cu(II) ions from water solution by batch adsorption techniques. This solid waste residue was characterized by FTIR, SEM and EDX. The effects of pH, contact time, metal concentration and biosorbent dosage on the process of biosorption were studied. Results and discussion. Obtained FTIR results confirm that the uptake of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution involves carboxylate moieties from lignin and fatty acids. Also, the presence of seeds in the AS blend significantly increased biosorption performance providing active site...s important for the sorption process. The ion exchange mechanism was also confirmed. The best fitting adsorption model is the Langmuir model and the maximum biosorption capacity (qmax) is 4.45mg L-1 at pH 5.0. Biosorption of the Cu(II) ions follows a pseudo second-order kinetic model. According to thermodynamic parameters the biosorption process is endothermic and spontaneous. Conclusion. Numerous biosorbents were investigated for biosorption of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution, but no report on application of untreated AS waste has been found in literature. This preliminary study confirmed that this material can successfully and rapidly remove dissolved copper ions from dilute solutions.
