Removal of cadmium and nickel from aqueous solution using expanded perlite

The adsorption characteristics of cadmium and nickel onto expanded perlite from aqueous solution have been investigated with respect to changes in pH of solution, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature of the solution. The maximum removal efficiency of Cd (II) is 88.8% at pH 6 and exposure t...
