摘要： Cadmium (Cd) is a common and toxic non-essential heavy metal that must be effectively treated to reduce its threat to the environment and public health. Adsorption with an adsorbent, such as agricultural waste, is widely used to remove heavy metals from wastewater. Sweet potato, the sixth most abundant food crop worldwide, produces a large amount of waste during postharvest processing that could be used as an economic adsorbent. In this study, the feasibility of using sweet potato residue (SPR) as an adsorbent for Cd2+ adsorption was assessed. To enhance the removal rate, SPR was modified with NaOH, and the effects of the modification and adsorption conditions on the removal of Cd2+ from wastewater were investigated. The results showed that modified sweet potato residue (MSPR) could be adapted to various pH and temperatures of simulated wastewater, implying its potential for multi-faceted application. Under optimized conditions, the removal of Cd2+ by MSPR was up to 98.94% with a maximum adsorption capacity of 19.81 mg g(-1). Further investigation showed that the MSPR exhibited rich functional groups, a loose surface, and a mesoporous structure, resulting in advantageous characteristics for the adsorption of Cd2+. In addition, the MSPR adsorbed Cd2+ by complexation, ion exchange, and precipitation during a monolayer chemisorption adsorption process. This work demonstrates a sustainable and environment friendly strategy for Cd2+ removal from wastewater and a simple approach for the preparation of MSPR and also revealed the adsorption mechanism of Cd2+ by MSPR, thus providing a suitable adsorbent and strategy for the removal of other heavy metals.
