The purpose of this study is Preparation of nano iron oxide coated activated sludge granules and its adsorption properties for Cd (II) ions in aqueous solutions. Activated sludge as biosorbent was modified using nano iron oxide coating and examined for removal of cadmium ions from aqueous solutions. The effect of parameters including amount of coating, contact time, solution pH, initial Cd concentration and adsorbent dosage was evaluated in batch experiments. The results showed that percentage removal of 91.6 was achieved by using modified sludge at alkaline pH 9 and contact time 120 min. The uptake of cadmium was best described by Langmuir-Freundlich isotherms. The kinetic study revealed that Cd (II) adsorption was in agreement with pseudo second-order equation. The Cd (II) loaded and unloaded granules were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Based on the obtained results, the modified activated sludge granules with nano iron oxide are an efficient adsorbent for removal of cadmium ions as inorganic water and wastewater pollutant.
Key words: Adsorption isotherms, biosorbent, heavy metals, nano iron oxide, , ,
