Heat treated hydrolysis-condensation products of aluminiumtri-sec-butoxide (Al(OBus)(3)) and alcohol modified Al(OBus)(3) were synthesised by sol-gel process. These synthetic powders, natural pyrophyllite and their 3-mercaptoprophyltrimethoxysilane coated forms were utilised as adsorbents for the removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption increased when natural and synthetic powders coated with SH-Si were used. It was concluded that the dried powders obtained from the hydrolysis-condensation product of Al(OBus)(3) and its alcohol modified form, and coated pyrophyllite would substitute for Amberlite IR 120 Na form resin.
