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 to optimize the sorption performance, leading to significant findings that advance the understanding of zirconium removal from industrial effluents. The study illustrates the potential application of CPF hydrogel as an effective sorbent for metal ion recovery, which is crucial for environmental remediation efforts.
