Cadmium is a highly toxic heavy metal considered carcinogenic to humans that can be found in the waste and surface waters of our country. The present work evaluated the adsorption capacity of cadmium (11) from aqueous solutions using rice husk. The alkaline chemical treatment that the rice husk received with NaOH increased the removal percentage compared to the untreated rice husk. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity was 5.19 mg/g and 10.52 mg/g for the untreated and NaOH-treated rice husk respectively. Batch experiments were carried out to analyze the influence of the variables pH, initial concentration of adsorbate and dosage in the adsorption process. The characterization of the bioadsorbent was also carried out using techniques such as FTIR infrared spectroscopy and SEM microscopy, with which it was possible to know the main functional groups and morphology of both rice husks. The pH is a very important variable since it determines the surface charge of the bioadsorbent and the speciation of the adsorbate in the solution. For cadmium adsorption using both types of rice husk the optimum pH was 7. For both bioadsorbents, the adsorption isotherms showed greater consistency with the Langmuir model than with the Freundlich model and the kinetic model that best adjusted to the adsorption of Cd (11) was the pseudo-second order model with equilibrium times of 8 h and 1.5 h using untreated and treated rice husk respectively. With the tests carried out, it is determined that rice husk, an agroindustrial waste from the rice industry, is an excellent low-cost altemative in the removal of cadmium (11) in aqueous solution.
