The release of Cadmium (Cd 2+ ) ion onto the water as a result of industrial activities and its waste stream causes a negative impact on the environment and human health. The potential of synthesized HAp to remove Cd 2+ from aqueous solutions was investigated in a batch reactor under different experimental condition. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) were prepared from sea shells by low temperature hydrothermal method. This study also investigates the effects of process parameter such as initial concentration and adsorbent dosage to determine the appropriate model between Langmuir and Freundlich. The experimental results show that adsorption capacity (qe) increased with increasing initial concentration of Cd 2+ (Co). Initial concentration increased from ~20 to ~40 mg/L, qe increased from 19,24 to 37,32; 12,81 to 25,49 and 9,62 to 19,31 mg/g when adsorbent dosage was 1; 1,5 and 2 g/L respectively. The percentage of removal increased with increasing adsorbent dosage. Adsorbent dosage increases from 1 to 2 g/L, the adsorption percentage increased from 96,51 to 96,93; 96,79 to 97,06 and from 94,81 to 97,07% at the initial concentration of Cd 2+ ~20, 30 and 40 mg/L, respectively. The adsorption data described well by the Freundlich isotherm model, indicating heterogeneous adsorbent surface during adsorption of Cd 2+ onto Hap.
