description Replacing cadmium ions in cadmium-containing solutions with aluminum powder is beneficial for cadmium resource recycling and environmental protection. However, the conventional aluminum powder replacement method requires harsh temperatures and prolonged conditions. In this study, the effect and mechanism of ultrasound on the replacement of cadmium with aluminum powder were investigated at low temperatures. Ultrasound has been proven to promote the etching of alumina films through the use of TEM and XPS, providing mechanistic support for the superiority of the new process. A degree of Cd replacement as high as 95.08 % is achieved at a low temperature (60 ℃) and in a short time (20 min) when using ultrasonicated aluminum powder replacement, which is 42.17 % higher than that of conventional aluminum powder. Compared with conventional aluminum powder replacement conditions with the same effect, the introduction of ultrasound can reduce the temperature by 30℃ and shorten the replacement time by 2/3, which has significant advantages in reaction efficiency and safety. The strengthening mechanism of ultrasound on the replacement effect of aluminum powder at low temperatures is revealed through detailed discussions on the corrosion of alumina films, agglomeration of aluminum powder, and adhesion of replacement products to the surface of aluminum powder, dissolved oxygen in the solution, and redissolution of cadmium. Therefore, a new approach for replacing aluminum powder in solutions with high Cd2+ concentrations at low temperatures is proposed in this work, which is expected to solve the existing harsh and dangerous problems of industrial aluminum powder replacement.
