Aiming at the reuse of discarded rice straw and its treatment of Cd2+ pollution in wastewater, rice straw was modified with KMnO4,KOH, H2O2, KOH+H2O2, tartaric acid, citric acid, and TiO2,and made as different types of rice straw sorbentsto adsorb Cd2+ in solution. These adsorbents were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR spectrometer, specific surface area and aperture analyzer, and Zeta potentiometer. The adsorption kinetic data were fitted with pseudo-first-order, modified pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion models. The results showed that, under the condition of initial Cd2+ concentration of 100mg/L, pH 7, adsorbent dosage of 10g/Lrice straw and adsorption temperature of 25℃, rice straw modified with KMnO4 had thebest Cd2+ adsorption in the aqueous solution, and the adsorption capacity was 10.024mg/g Cd2+. Its percentage of removal of Cd2+ reached 99.24% and had an increase of 99.44% compared with unmodified rice straw. Followed by rice straw was modified with KOH and KOH+H2O2,their adsorption capacity for Cd2+ were 9.302mg/g and 9.189mg/g, percentage of removal of Cd2+ reached 92.62% and 90.82%, respectively. Compared with unmodified rice straw treatment, Cd2+ removal of rice straw modified with KOH and KOH+H2O2 had increases of by 85.07% and 82.83%, respectively. The adsorption order of modified rice straw treatments was:KMnO4 > KOH > KOH+H2O2 > TiO2 > H2O2 > citric acid > tartaric acid. It was found that quasi first order rate equation only described the initial stage of Cd2+ adsorption suitably, however, apseudo-second order kinetic model was the proper approach for describling the whole process of adsorption. Sum up, the rice straw modified by KMnO4, KOH and KOH+H2O2 could be the potentially valuable adsorbents for absorbing Cd2+ in the wastewater solution.
