Biosorption of Cr (III) from Aqueous Solution Using Banana Peel Powder

biosorption of cr (iii) from aqueous solutions using indigenous biomaterials

in the present study, an indigenous medicinal plant, tridax procumbens (asteraceae) was used as bioadsorbent for the removal of cr (iii) ions from synthetic wastewater and the method was also applied for real sample analysis. the biosorption of cr (iii) was a two-stage batch reactor process. in the first stage, raw biomaterial was used to the conversion of cr (vi) into cr (iii). the amount of t...

Removal of Basic Blue 159 from Aqueous Solution Using Banana Peel as a Low-Cost Adsorbent

In this paper, the adsorption of Basic Blue159 (BB159) onto banana peel as a low-cost material was studied. At first, the banana peel was sieved. Later, banana peel particles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a fu...

Biosorption of Cr (III) from aqueous solution by the leaf biomass of Calotropis procera

The biosorption of Cr (III) onto the leaf biomass of Calotropis procera popularly known as ‘bom bom’ in western Nigeria, over a wide range of reaction conditions were studied. The batch experiments showed that the biosorption of Cr (III) onto Calotropis procera leaf biomass is a rapid process reaching equilibrium within 10 minutes at an optimum pH value of 5. Other reaction conditions such as b...

Biosorption Study of Ni(II) on Apple Peel Granola from Aqueous Solution

Introduction: Nickel is found in varies industrial processes such as electroplating, leather tanning, cement preservations, paints and pigments, textile, steel fabrication and canning industries. It is proved that Ni(II) has several health hazards such as carcinogenic. The aim of this study was the evaluation of Ni(II)adsorption on Apple peel granola from aqueous solution. Material and Methods:...
