Adsorption performance and mechanism for removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solutions by D001 cation-exchange resin.

The adsorption and desorption properties of D001 resin for Cd(II) has been investigated. Batch studies were carried out with various pH, contact time, temperature and initial concentrations, and then column studies were conducted. The results showed that the optimal adsorption condition was at pH value of 3.
