This is a feasibility study of the idea of forming calcium alginate             pellets and using the pellets to remove low levels of cupric ion from           waste water.  The goal is to lower the cupric ion from 300 ppm to 10            ppm in a fluidized bed containing the pellets.  The study also                  involves the measurement of effective diffusivity of cupric ions in             calcium alginate gel as well as the kinetics of the reaction system in          a fluidized bed.  Success of the study could lead to a new process for          efficient removal of low levels of toxic metal ions (cupric and                 others) from waste water.
