Abstract In this study, the potential of a low-cost bio-adsorbent, taken directly from Date Palm Trunk Fibers (DPTF) agricultural wastes, for cadmium ions removal from wastewaters is examined. The performances of this adsorbent are
evaluated by building breakthrough curves at different bed heights and flow rates while keeping other parameters,
such as the initial feed concentration, pH, and particle size, constant. The results indicate that the maximum cadmium adsorption capacity of DTPF can be obtained from the Thomas model as 51.5 mg/g with the most extended
mass transfer zone of 83 min at the lowest flow rate at 5 ml/min. The… More >
