Derived and thiourea-functionalized silica for cadmium removal: isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic studies

Abstract The present study explored the feasibility of using derived and thiourea-functionalized silica as adsorbent for the removal of cadmium under different experimental conditions. Effects of various parameters such as function of point of zero charge (pHPZC), solution pH, sorbent-sorbate reside...
