Cadmium removal from simulated wastewater to biomass byproduct of Lentinus edodes
Abstract
A kind of agricultural waste, the byproduct of brown-rot fungus Lentinus edodes, was used as an efficient biosorbent for the removal of cadmium from water in this paper. The sorption conditions, such as pH, the dose of biomass and the initial concentration of cadmium were examined. Three kinds of adsorption models were applied to simulate the biosorption data. Uptake of cadmium was higher in weak acid condition than in strong acid condition. …
