Removal of Cd(II) from Water System Using Novel Biosorbent Derived from Persimmon Fallen Leaves

Article Preview

Abstract:

A biosorbent was prepared by treating the persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) fallen leaves with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The NaOH concentration and stirring period for the preparation of the biosorbent were adjusted to optimise the Cd(I) adsorption capacity of the biosorbents. Removal of highly toxic Cadmium metal ions from water system using the optimal biosorbent named ‘NPFL’ was investigated using a mimic industrial column. The result showed that NPFL could remove Cd(II) in large quantities from aqueous solution with coexisting metal ions. The raw material, NPFL and Cd(II) loaded NPFL were characterized by SEM-EDS. The reusability of NPFL was also studied by batch adsorption-desorption test.
