In this study, a hydrogel carboxymethyl cellulose-polyvinyl alcohol-fumaric acid (CPF hydrogel) composed of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) with the ratio 3:1 and Fumaric Acid was synthesized through the wet chemical method and evaluated for the sorption of Zr (IV) ions from acidic leachate solution. The CPF hydrogel was characterized using FT-IR, SEM and EDX. The results confirmed its porous structure and surface functionality that promoted the effective metal ion sorption. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of contact time, initial concentration, V/m ratio, and other parameters on the sorption efficiency, revealing a significant capacity for Zr (IV) removal from the leachate. These findings indicate that the synthesized hydrogel can be an effective and efficient sorbent for treating zirconium in leachate solutions. The novel approach utilizing carboxymethyl cellulose as a base offers potential for scaling up in industrial applications for metal ion remediation work.
