Batch adsorption tests showed that extent of Cd (II) adsorption depended on initial concentration, contact time and pH. Equilibrium adsorption was achieved in 60 min, while maximum Cd (II) adsorption occurred at pH 5. The Levenberg- Marquardt algorithm (LM) training algorithm was found to be the best among 8 backpropagation (BP) algorithms tested; lowest Mean Square Error (MSE) of 20.99 and highest R2was 0.96. Langmuir constants Q� and b were 40 and 0.04, and Freundlich constants Kfand 1/n were 2.15 and 0.69, respectively. Adsorption capacity of IRHC was compared with other adsorbents and activated carbons reported in the literature. Being a low-cost carbon, IRHC has potential to be used for the adsorption of Cd (II) from aqueous solution and wastewater in developing countries. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London. publisher: CRC Press/Balkema date: 2016 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Khan, T. and Isa, M.H. and Mustafa, M.R.
