摘要

Cadmium ions (Cd(II)) contamination has raised serious concerns because of its high toxicity and potential threat to the ecosystems and human health. The purpose of this study was to design a novel eco-friendly adsorbent for Cd(II) adsorption. The corn husk fibers modified with acrylic acid (CHF@AA) was synthesized and characterized in detail. The effects of pH, dosage, adsorption time, and temperature on the removal efficiency of Cd(II) on CHF@AA were discussed. The maximum removal rate of Cd(II) on CHF@AA was 88.30% at the optimal conditions (adsorbent dosage of 0.25 g/L, adsorption time of 900 min, temperature of 313 K and pH of 6). Langmuir isotherms (R2 = 0.9988) and Pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.9744) kinetic models were more suitable for the description of Cd(II) adsorption process on CHF@AA. The adsorption process of Cd(II) exhibited monolayer adsorption, mainly dominated by chemical adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cd(II) reached 32.63 mg/g. Finally, CHF@AA adsorbent was used to remove Cd(II) from natural water samples of the typical traffic locations in Wuxi Huishan section of Xicheng Canal, and the maximum Cd(II) removal rate was 37.45%. Overall, this work provided a novel conversion method of discarded corn husks into adsorbent resource for the removal of cadmium ions from water samples.
