Several synthetic polymer composites like activated carbon/chitosan, chitosan supported on porous glass beads, magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan, crosslinked alumina chitosan, Fe3O4/chitosan/polycomposite, crosslinked chitosan acrylonitrile copolymer and n-HAP/chitosan composite (Huang et al. 2014; Shen et al. 2013; Guijuan et al. 2012; Zhang et al. 2012; Ramya et al. 2011; Rajiv Gandhi et al. 2011), mesoporus and ligand composites (Awual and Hasan 2015; Awual 2015; Awual et al. 2013, 2014a, b, 2015; Espergham et al. 2011; Ghaedi et al. 2009) etc. are effective in the removal of copper."}
