Modified Sacchurum Officinarum (Sugarcane Bagasse [Sb]) Activated Powder Used as a Natural Adsorbent for the Removal of Cadmium (Cd) From Simulated Wastewater (Aqueous Solution)
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Cadmium is one of the heavy metals that have been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be of serious health concern (Hundal, 1998). The “itai-itai” disease which is of cadmium toxicity in humans, kidney dysfunction and hepatic damage other health implications of cadmium (Klaassen, 2001).3 Cadmium is used in many industries such as the electroplating industry, pesticides, dyes, pigments, plastics nickel-cadmium batteries, and textile operation (Yavuz et al. 2007). The permissible limit for cadmium as described by the World Health Organization (WHO) is 0.01 mg/L (Peterlene et al. 1999). There are several ways to remove cadmium like solvent extraction, precipitation, ion exchange, and adsorption etc. This study investigates the modified form of sacchurum officinarum (sugarcane bagasse [SB]) activated powder used as low cost natural adsorbent for removing cadmium from an aqueous solution. Adsorption studies were carried out to determine the influence of contact time, adsorbent dosage, effect of stirring rate and pH on removal efficiency.
