| Summary: | The main goal of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of rice husk coated with chitosan as a green adsorbent for the removal of cadmium (II) in aqueous solution. The properties of prepared rice husk-chitosan (Chi-RH) were characterized using SEM, FTIR, and XRD analysis. The main parameters that influence cadmium sorption on the Chi-RH biocomposites were evaluated at different stirring and contact time, adsorbent dosage, and pH values. The results indicated that the best stirring time and contact time was 360 mins and 60 mins, respectively. The optimum adsorbent dosage was 1.0 g/L, with the highest percentage removal of 99%, and the optimum pH was 9. This study concluded that the Chi-RH biocomposites have the high ability as a green adsorbent for cadmium removal in aqueous solution and simultaneously reducing the environmental impact. |
