“…Furthermore, thiol groups have a high affinity for silver, mercury, Cd, and Pb ions [38], and the adsorption properties of thiol-modified graphene were found to be significantly improved compared to those of the raw materials [36,37]. Sliesarenko et al [39] indicated that loading thiol functional groups onto polymer membranes was more effective than adding raw materials to remove Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , and Cr 3+ from a water environment.…”

Cadmium (Cd) water pollution threatens environmental systems and human health. Adsorption is the preferred method for purifying water bodies polluted by Cd, and the development of effective adsorption materials is critical. The performance of original phosphate rock powder (PRP) as an adsorption medium for purifying water bodies polluted by Cd was compared with that of phosphate rock powder modified with fulvic acid, chitosan, MnO2, and sulfhydryl, respectively, and their appearance and adsorption properties were investigated. The surface structures of all modified powders were rougher than the original, and their functional groups were richer. The greatest Cd2+ adsorption capacity, 1.88 mg g−1, was achieved with chitosan-modified PRP (CMPRP). This was 106.59% greater than that of PRP. The capacities of fulvic acid and MnO2 were 15.38% and 4.40% greater than that of the original, respectively. When the fulvic acid-modified PRP, CMPRP, and manganese dioxide PRP reached adsorption equilibrium, the removal rates of Cd2+ were 51.86%, 93.26%, and 46.70%, respectively. Moreover, the removal rate of Cd2+ by CMPRP was 104.43% higher than that of PRP. The main Cd2+ adsorption mechanisms for the MPRPs were electrostatic interactions, ion exchange, co-precipitation, and complexation. Moreover, the processing of the phosphate rock powder was straightforward, harmless to the environment, and could be effectively used for the removal of Cd. These results show that CMPRP is promising as a new adsorption material to treat Cd-contaminated water.
