| Abstract | Pomelo peel as an agricultural waste is used to test the feasibility of it in removing cadmium ions from aqueous solution. Pomelo peel contains high amount of pectin which consists of functional groups that are able to bind with cadmium ions. The feasibility of pomelo peel as biosorbent to remove cadmium ions from aqueous solution is conducted in batch with pH ranges from 1 to 6, contact time ranges from 0 to 240 minutes and concentration of initial cadmium ions ranges from 25 to 100 mg/L as variables. The efficiency of untreated and pre-treated pomelo peels will also be compared. Biosorption isotherms can be generated using Langmuir and Freundlich models and kinetics of sorption process can be analyzed using pseudo-first order rate equation and pseudo-second order rate equation.No results have been shown as the experiment is still on going. However, it is strongly supported by theories and other researched papers that it is feasible for agricultural waste to be used as biosorbent in treating cadmium from aqueous solution.
