Uptake of Cd(II) Using Natural Zeolite: Batch and Continuous Fixed-Bed Studies
Uptake of Cd(II) ions by natural phillipsite tuff was investigated both in shake-flask and fixed-bed columns. Equilibrium uptake, qe, was found to best fit Langmuir adsorption isotherm with a maximum value of 25.78 mg/g. Percent removal of Cd ions was close to 100% from initial metal ion concentrations in the range 50 …
