Alginate coated loofa sponge discs for the removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions

A biosorbent was prepared by coating the fibrous network of loofa sponge (Luffa cylindrica) with a thin film of calcium alginate. Alginate-coated loofa sponge removed Cd(II) rapidly, reaching equilibrium loading of 124 mg g(-1) in 30 min. Seventy % of equilibrium uptake was achieved in 10 min. In co...
