New Efficient Adsorbent Materials for the Removal of Cd(II) from Aqueous Solutions.

ABSTRACT: The rapid increase of industrial activities leads to serious environmental pollution, especially, in aqueous systems and particularly with heavy metals. Cadmium, one of the most poisonous elements, is rapidly accumulated in the human body, therefore, the efficient removal of cadmium ions from wastewater is an urgent need. Coordination networks (CNs) and its subdivision metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are structured porous composites which present various special properties. In this work two CNs were used as adsorbent materials for the removal of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions. By the reaction of CoSO4·7H2O and NiSO4·7H2O with N,N-bis(phosphonomethyl)glycine (Gly) in hydrothermal conditions two CNs-Co-Gly and Ni-Gly- were synthesized, respectively. Cadmium adsorption onto the studied C
