In this work, the removal of Cd2+ ions from aqueous solution using microporous titanosilicate ETS-10 was investigated in order to assess its potential as decontaminating agent in tertiary treatments. Accordingly, batch stirred tank experiments were carried out to study the ion exchange kinetics and equilibrium. Results show that pH affects considerably the ion exchange capability of ETS-10: at pH 4 it is 1.567 × 102 eq m−3, at pH 6 it is 3.629 × 103, and no further increment was observed at pH 8. This is an extremely important observation since pH of industrial effluents and other wastewaters rounds 6. Both Langmuir and Langmuir–Freundlich isotherms were fitted to the experimental data measured. The second model performs slightly better as the calculated absolute average deviations show: AADL = 2.94% and AADLF = 2.40%. Concerning the kinetic behavior, the ion exchange was successfully represented by a Nernst–Planck based model (AAD = 11.9%).
