Evaluating Forest Waste on Adsorption of Cd(II) from Aqueous Solution: Equilibrium and Thermodynamic Studies

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: most widespread pollutants in the environment and is frequently released from various industries such as electroplating, metallurgy, phosphate fertilizers, pigments, nuclear, Ni-Cd batteries and other uses [2].Cadmium usually is present as a divalent cation, Cd(II), and has high solubility in water in this form.Because it is not biodegradable in the environment, Cd(II) can easily be transported from one medium to another and eventually is enriched by bioaccumulation in the ecosystem [3].Cd(II) enters into humans and other living organisms through contaminated water and the food chain, and can cause irreversible damage [4].This
