摘要
The removal of cadmium ions from aqueous solutions is described using polyethyleneimine (PEI) entrapped in sol-gel matrices. The process is optimized with respect to operating conditions and both sorption and desorption are considered. The sorption process followed the Langmuir isotherm, and the corresponding Langmuir constants q(max) and K-d were found to be 80.64 mg Cd2+/g PEI and 236.36 mg/L, respectively, using the immobilized PEI polymer. More than 90% of the cadmium could be recovered in 2 h using 2 M NaCl solutions. This technique has potential applications in the recovery of cadmium in aqueous waste streams.
