Kinetic Analysis of the Adsorption of Cadmium onto Activated Carbon from Tridax procumbens

While Cd production, consumption, and environmental release have all skyrocketed in recent decades, there is currently no practical way to recycle compounds. This suggests that compounds may be very dangerous human health. Due this cadmium remediation from polluted environment urgently needed. Several viable technologies include biosorption, which has several positive aspects low operating expenses, efficient detoxification of toxicants at concentrations amount disposal materials. The biosorption the onto activated carbon Tridax procumbens remodeled using nonlinear regression optimal mode was determined by a series error function assessments. Statistical analysis showed best kinetic model for adsorption pseudo-1st order. All analyses supported order model. constants obtained were qe (mg/g) 5.808 (95% confidence interval 5.043 6.573) k1 (per min) 0.009 0.0064 0.0117). Nonlinear modeling enables determination 95 percent uncertainty range, can used comparison discriminant analysis.
