After the pretreatment, Bamboo Charcoal (BC) were chemically modified with succinic acid. Then explore the characters of Modified Bamboo Charcoal (EBC) and the adsorption of BC for Cd(II). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) were applied to analyze the material microstructure and its chemical bond of the adsorbent. The static test shows that effects of reaction time and pH value on the adsorption of BC for Cd(II). The adsorption process are found to be well described by the pseudo-second order adsorption kinetics. Besides, the maximum adsorption mounts of BC after modification calculated from pseudo-second order adsorption kinetics raised from 6.05 to 10.94 mg•g-1 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
