Abstract

Abetment of toxic divalent cadmium using BMWAC

Cadmium is toxic to living systems and therefore it is essential to remove it from water resources. The present research article reports Cd(II) abetment efficacy of activated carbon derived from Butea monosperma wood (BMWAC) from aqueous solution. The self generated activated carbon was characterized using techniques like FTIR and SEM. Adsorption capacity of BMWAC for Cd(II) abetment was investigated employing batch equilibration method. The effect of various parameters like contact time, initial solute concentration, pH and adsorbent doses has also been studied and reported. The adsorption data were found fit well with the Langmuir model. The percent removal of Cd (II) was found to be increase with adsorbent doses from 1-8 gmdm-3. At optimum condition nearly 92% abatement of Cd(II) has been noted using BMWAC. Thus the self-prepared activated carbon under investigation has been proved to be an excellent economical adsorbent material for Cd(II) removal from contaminated water/wastewater.
