| dc.description.abstract | In this research, investigation on the cadmium removal efficiency of a ecoclay product is explored. Fresh water sludge obtained from Sungai Dua Water treatment Plant is used as a partial substitution of the raw material to fabricate a ceramic tiles. Fresh water sludge is found to have similar chemical component and physical properties as the raw material of the ceramic tiles, hence sludge could be used as partial substitution of the clay composition in tiles making. Pore-forming agent, rice husk, were added into the composition to fabricate a porous ceramic tiles to further increase the surface area of the sample for the optimum cadmium removal efficiency. Urea functionalisation is one of the key for a ceramic tiles to increase the removal efficiency on the cadmium solution. The results shows that functionalised ecoclay sample with 10 wt% pore-forming agent to have the best cadmium removal efficiency. The optimum time for the maximum cadmium removal efficiency is found to be 8 hours. | en_US |
