چکیده    Release of cadmium, a non-essential and highly toxic heavy metal, into aquatic ecosystem through discharge of effluents from various industries such as electroplating, photographic, steel/iron production and tanneries, is of considerable environmental conern at global level. hence, it is essential to develop economic methods to remove cadmium from industrial effluents before their discharge into water bodies. the aim of present study was to explore the efficiency of nitrilotriacetic acid (nta) for the surface modification of dendrocalamus strictus charcoal powder (dcp) and application of both unmodified dcp and nta modified dcp (nta-mdcp) as adsorbents to remove cadmium (ii) ions from aqueous solution. isotherms, thermodynamic and kinetic studies were carried out to describe the adsorption behavior of both adsorbents for the removal of cd(ii) ions. maximum adsorption capacity calculated from langmuir isotherm was found to be higher for nta-mdcp (166.66 mg/g) as compared to dcp (142.85 mg/g) which be attributed to the complex formation (1:1 & 2:1) between nta on the surface of adsorbent and cd(ii) ions in the solution at optimum conditions: ph = 6, temperature = 25 °c, adsorbent dose = 2 g/l and contact time = 2 h. thermodynamic studies confirmed endothermic as well as spontaneous nature of adsorption process and kinetic investigation revealed that the adsorption process followed pseudo second-order for both dcp and nta-mdcp. physical characterization of both adsorbents before and after adsorption was studied using scanning electron microscope, brunauer-emmett-teller surface analyzer, energy dispersion x-ray spectrometer, chns analyzer and x-ray diffractometer which confirmed the adsorption of cadmium(ii) ions. further, the desorption studies for regeneration of adsorbents were successfully carried out using two eluents viz., 1 m sulfuric acid and 0.5% calcium chloride. the present study revealed that nta-mdcp could be used as an effective adsorbent for the removal of cadmium(ii) ions from aqueous solution.
