Abstract

This work is aimed at the removal of Cd(II) byusing local materials in community for make the quality of life ofpeople get better. The result found that all types of localmaterials could be absorbed Cadmium (Cd) in all type of localmaterials that can found in the community. The highest capacityon the adsorption of Cd(II) was shell, egg peel, coconut andcarbon, respectively. The results shown that this method couldbe reduced the amounts of Cd(II) in contaminated waste waterbefore release to the community by using local materials incommunity. This method could be apply to eliminate heavymetals before release to the environment.
