Article Synopsis
- Heavy metal contamination, especially from cadmium (II) ions, poses a major environmental threat, particularly in developing countries.
- This study investigates the use of a composite film made from starch, eggshell, and orange peel-activated carbon to effectively remove cadmium from water, utilizing advanced characterization techniques like X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.
- The findings show that the composite film exhibits a highly porous structure, achieving nearly complete cadmium removal (100% at 0.5 mg/L and 99.7% at 1.0 mg/L), suggesting its potential as a cost-effective adsorbent for environmental cleanup.
