Cadmium can leak into the water and accumulate in sediments through human activities, such as mining or soil fertilization [14, 15]. It can also enter the human diet in different ways, including ...
The actual design run by the statistics software, Design-Expert 8.0.6, is presented in Table S1. The experimental sequence and the summarized results are presented in Table 1.The significant factors in the flocculating process were determined to be X 2 (P = 0.0025), X 3 (P = 0.0065), and X 1 (P = 0.0173), respectively (Table S2). …
The word, "optimization," is somewhat ambiguous; the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as: the action of making the best or most effective use of a situation or resource. For us, that has historically meant dynamic, automated truck assignments based on real-time situational information. Leveraging our industry-first and still best-of ...
The highest percentage of cadmium removal was obtained in the run 5 with a value of 99.96%, where cadmium concentration is 200 mg/L, biomass is 4 g/L and pH is 5, while the minimum cadmium removal ...
Designing an efficient and recyclable adsorbent for cadmium pollution control is an urgent necessity. In this paper, cow manure, an abundant agricultural/animal husbandry byproduct, was employed as the raw material for the synthesis of magnetic cow manure biochar. The optimal preparation conditions were found using the response …
1. Introduction. Soil and crop pollution as a result of mining activities is now an important issue around the world (Candeias et al., 2014).Pollution is predominantly from mining activities in paddy fields of China, whilst the soils in the south are more polluted than north China (Zhao et al., 2015).High concentrations of heavy metals (As, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb …
Through three experiments, the average value of the cadmium leaching rate is 98.18%, and the deviation from the predicted value is 1.02, Higher is the …
Results showed that the sonochemical modification process could reduce particle size, enhance effective cation exchange capacity from 0.10 to 1.58 meq/g, and …
The areas of the active and abandoned mine fields were 2103.63 m 2 and 10,425 m 2, respectively.The extent of current environmental degradation in the area caused by gold mining activities, the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the people are recently published in Mensah and Tuokuu (2023).We produced thematic …
1. Introduction. Cadmium accumulation and persistence in nature leads to heavy metal pollution. On one hand, biodegradation of Cd 2+ is difficult, as only the chemical valence and compound species is changed under the action of microorganisms [1], which may even transform it into a more toxic compound [2].On the other hand, Cd …
Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses a significant threat to global agricultural production and hyperaccumulating plant species, such as Solanum nigrum (L.), face challenges in phytoremediation due to limited biomass production. Application of plant growth regulators such as, folic acid (FA) is a promising strategy to increase biomass production in these …

Water pollution caused by toxic heavy metal discharge from process industries and mining sites is a major concern [3]. Despite being an essential micronutrient, excessive heavy metal intake can have a variety of toxic effects [4]. Cadmium is one of the toxic heavy metals and longstanding environmental contaminants [5].

Cadmium is used to make low-temperature melting alloys, such as solder and Wood's Metal for indoor sprinkler systems. The latter is an alloy of 50%Bi, 25%Pb, 12.5% Sn, and 12.5%Cd which melts at about 160 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of a very hot shower. Cadmium compounds are used both in black and white and color television tubes.

Cadmium, a rare but widely dispersed element, is found naturally in the environment. Most cadmium ore (greenockite): occurs in association with zinc. It is released into the environment through mining and smelting, its use in various industrial processes, and enters the food chain from uptake by plants from contaminated soil or water.
Mining activity causes soil and water contamination with heavy metals. • The biosorption process is an ecological technique for an effective removal of metals. • Biosorption optimization studies can be made with the use of the Box-Behnken design. • There is a need to find bacteria effective in various heavy metal decontamination. •
