Recovery of cadmium in wastewater was investigated by an electrochemical deposition approach in a multianode and multicathode cell in this study. The effects of initial concentration, initial pH, current density, and complexing agents on the recovery of cadmium were examined. Acidic media was found to improve the recovery efficiency. When the current density was 4.46mA cm-2, the mass was almost increased to be maximum after electrochemical deposition for 90min. With further increase in current density, little increase of recovery ratio was obse...
