Simultaneous removals of cadmium(II) ions and reactive yellow 4 dye from aqueous solution by bone meal-derived apatite: kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamic evaluations

Abstract The simultaneous removal of Cadmium ions and reactive yellow 4 dye (RY4 dye) by bone meal-derived apatite (BMDA) were investigated in a batch process. The structural elucidation of the prepared BMDA was done using TEM, XRD, FT-IR and EDX to evaluate the structures of the adsorbent. Differen...
