Abstract

In the present study, we have used neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf powder as a non-conventional biosorbent for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solutions. Batch experiments were conducted to identify equilibrium time, equilibrium adsorbent dosage and equilibrium metal concentration. The data were analyzed by applying Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin isotherm models. The kinetics of adsorption was studied from the data obtained through pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations. The adsorption data best fitted for Freundlich isotherm and the process obeyed pseudo-second-order. The adsorption of Cd(II) was rapid initially and reached the peak at 180 min of agitation (96.9 %). The adsorbent dose indicated instantaneous adsorption (92.8 %) at 0.4 g and reached equilibrium at 1.6 g (97.4 %). The adsorption was rapid initially (99.6 %) at Cd(II) concentration of 60 mg L-1 and decreased (96.2 %) at 200 mg L-1. It was revealed that neem leaf powder has effective potential for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution.
