ABSTRACT
The removal of cadmium can be carried out by various physic-chemical and biological methods.The author has carried out review of investigations for cadmium removal in 2013. He reported various investigations carried out till 2013. His study indicated that adsorption and electrocoagulation were two efficient methods along with many other chemical, biological and physical methods for cadmium removal.In recent years, the use of mixed adsorbent and experiments with simulated wastewater, with resemblance to industrial wastewater can be considered as step close to actual conditions. Some investigations on industrial waste water yielded excellent results. Regeneration and reuse of adsorbent remains thrust area in the wide acceptance of low cost adsorbent methods industrially. The current review is aimed at summarizing research and studies on cadmium removal from wastewater in last five years.
Key words:Bioaccumulation,electrocoagulation, adsorption, ion exchange, pH adsorption.
