The effect of pH and initial metal concentration on the adsorption capacity of the cryogels were studied in batch systems. Desorption of heavy metal ions was also studied and it was shown that synthe- sized discs could be repeatedly used without significant loss in the adsorption capacity after five repetitive adsorption–desorption processes.}, number={1}, publisher={Hacettepe University}
