Abstract:

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 in dose of both adsorbents and their contact time. A contact time of 30 min was found to be optimum. Experimental results show low cost biosorbent were effective for the removal of pollutants from aqueous solution. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm were used to describe the adsorption equilibrium studies of agrowaste. Freundlich isotherm shows better fit than Langmuir and Temkin isotherm in the temperature range studied.

Adsorption and Reduction of Chromium(VI) from Aqueous Solution by Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

The adsorption of Cr(VI) on the raw multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a function of initial Cr(VI) concentration, pH, temperature, and MWCNT dosage were studied. The removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution was dominated by adsorption of Cr(VI) and redox reaction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The adsorption of Cr(VI) decreased with increasing pH and increased with the rise in temperature and MWCN...

Removal of Hexavalent Chromium from Aqueous Solution Using Activated Carbon Derived from Palmyra Palm Fruit Seed

In this study, removal of chromium(VI) from aqueous solutions by Palmyra palm fruit seed carbon (PPFSC) and commercial activated carbon (CAC) was investigated. The metal adsorption capacity has been studied as a function of contact time, pH and carbon dosage. The adsorption yields increased with the increasing of adsorbent dosage and contact time, and subsequently reached the equilibrium. The s...

Adsorption of nitrate from aqueous solution using activated carbon-supported Fe0, Fe2 (SO4)3, and FeSO4

In this laboratory scale study, impregnated almond shell activated carbon was used as adsorbent to investigate its feasibility for nitrate adsorption from aqueous medium. The effects of activated carbon dosage and contact time have been examined in batch experiments. Experimental data show that impregnated activated carbons by Fe0, Fe2 (SO4)3, and FeSO4 were more effective than virgin almond ac...
