Removal of Cd(II) Ions from Simulated Wastewater by HCl Modified Peel: Equilibrium and Kinetic Study

This paper describes the adsorption of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions by modified Cucumis sativus peel (CSP) by HCl treatment. The optimum pH, adsorbent mass, contact time, and initial ion concentration were determined. The maximum removal efficiency was 84.85% for 20 mg/L Cd(II) ion at pH 5. Th...
