Abstract

The combined effects of metal ion concentration (X), hydrogen ion concentration (pH) and biomass dose (BD), on the biosorption of Cadmium Cd(II) were investigated. Two different plant biomasses; rice straw (Oryza sativa) and dragon tree leaves (Dracaena draca) were studied. The optimum conditions were found at (X)=10 ppm, (pH)=7 and (BD)=0.5 g. Under these conditions, desirability values of 0.996 and 0.997 for rice straw and dragon tree leaves were obtained, showing that the calculated model may represent the experimental model and give the desired conditions. The samples before and after biosorption experiments were characterized by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy.
