This critical review summarizes a research paper that studied the adsorption of copper ions using raw pinecones. The review assessed that the original research was conducted properly by qualified researchers at reputable universities. It examined the materials and methods used, which involved batch experiments to test the effect of pH on copper ion adsorption. The results showed pinecones effectively adsorbed copper, with maximum adsorption occurring at a pH of 6. The review concluded the original research demonstrated pinecones' potential as a low-cost adsorbent for removing copper from water.

Pinecone, American Chemical Science Journal This research aims to to study the possibility of using pinecone as an inexpensive sorbent material for the removal 6 of copper ions in solution. The Title and Abstract are suggestive for the papers content The authors of this research conducted the place of study at the Department of Chemistry, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The authors are affiliated with Department of Chemical Sciences, Southwestern University, Okun-Owa, Ogun State, Nigeria. and Department of Chemistry, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria. With these qualifications, they are qualified to conduct this research. The introduction section of the research tackles on the release of many toxic heavy metals specifically Copper (Cu2+) to the environment by different processing industries. Different methods were discussed on how to recover heavy toxic metals from wastewater. Adsorption was one of the preferred methods because of its ease of operation. This work aims at evaluating the possibility of using pinecones as an inexpensive sorbent material for the removal of Cu2+ from aqueous solution. The Materials and Methods section presents the collection and preparation of pinecones and chemicals, the batch experiments that were conducted in polyethylene bottles. The pH value of the solutions were measured using pH meter. At the end of each experiment, a sample of the suspension was separated by filtration to remove pinecone particles. The filtrate was then analyzed for residual copper ions. There are no ethical issues to be addressed in the methodologies employed in this research since it does not use any ethically sensitive procedures. Results and Discussion: 3.1. Effect of pH:The pH of the solutions were conditioned using 0.1M NaOH and 0.1M HCl to pH of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and the suspensions agitated at room temperature.There was an increase in amount adsorbed up till pH of 6 after which a decrease was observed. At a lower pH,the amount ofH+ ions present is high and these compete with the metal ions for active sites but as the pH increases,the amount of H+ decreases and this leads to an increase in the number of sites available for the metal ion to adsorb on which increases the adsorption. Conclusion: This work studied the possibility of using pinecone as an inexpensive sorbent material for the removal of Cu2+ as well as the effect of different experimental parameters through tests of sorption equilibrium in batch conditions. Information about its maximum adsorption capacities were analysed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The results demonstrate that pinecone can be used as a novel and an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cu2+ from aqueous solutions The Bibliography is well presented with good citations of the works related to the research. The research is considered a good research. It is acceptable for publication.
