Adsorptive Removal of Chromium (VI) from Aqueous Solutions by using Sugar and Distillery Waste Material
نویسندگان
چکیده
Raw bagasse, Bagasse fly ash and distillery sludge, the waste generated in sugar mills and distillery have been used as lowcost potential biosorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium from an aqueous solution. The effect of hydrogen ion concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial concentrations of adsorbate and adsorbent dose on the uptake of chromium were studied in batch experiments. Bagasse fly ash, Distillery sludge and sugar cane bagasse could be an economical biosorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous system. The order of selectivity is bagasse >bagassefly ash >distillery sludge for Cr(VI) removal.

Removal of chromium (VI) from aqueous solution by adsorption using cousinia eryngioides boiss and activated carbon
Adsorption capacity of Cr (VI) onto cousinia eryngioides boiss, activated carbon was investigated in a batch system by considering the effects of various parameters like contact time, initial concentration, pH, temperature, agitation speed, absorbent dose and particle size. Cr (VI) removal is pH dependent and found to be maximum at pH 2.0. The amounts of Cr (VI) adsorbed increased with increase...
متن کاملAgricultural Waste as Adsorbent for Removal of Chromium (VI) from Aqueous Solution
Background & Aims of the Study: Since the chromium (VI) is a toxic, carcinogenic and non-biodegradable element and can accumulate in the tissues, the presence and release of this element through the effluents is associated with dangerous effects on life cycle. Thus, it should be removed from the effluents. In the present study, biosorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutio...

متن کاملRemoval of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution using canola biomass: Isotherms and kinetics studies
The removing of hexavalent chromium from wastewater or decreasing its chromium (VI) content up to the permitted levels is important due to its non-biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and cancer-causing and toxic effects. In the present study, biosorption of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions using canola was investigated. The various physicochemical parameters such as pH, initial Cr (VI) ion concentra...
