Summary: A highly-effective hydrogel, MCC/Ben-g-PAA, was synthesized for the removal of Cd(II) from wastewater. The adsorbent exhibited abundant surface groups favorable for Cd(II) adsorption. Batch experiments showed that optimal conditions for Cd(II) adsorption were a dosage of 1 g/L, pH 6, and an initial Cd(II) concentration of 50-800 mg/L, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 242.53 mg/g. The adsorption dynamics followed the pseudo-second order kinetics and the adsorption isotherms followed the Freundlich model, indicating a chemisorption-based multi-layer process controlled by intraparticle diffusion.
