Biosorption of aqueous chromium(VI) by Tamarindus indica seeds.
The effectiveness of low cost agro-based materials namely, Tamarindus indica seed (TS), crushed coconut shell (CS), almond shell (AS), ground nut shell (GS) and walnut shell (WS) were evaluated for Cr(VI) removal. Batch test indicated that hexavalent chromium sorption capacity (q(e)) followed the sequence q(e)(TS) > q(e)(WS) > q(e)(AS) > q(e)(GS) > q(e)(CS). Due to high sorptive capacity, tamar...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of tamarind seed (Tamarindus indica L.) polysaccharide.
The alcohol-insoluble fraction from the water extract of tamarind seed meal, constituting 60 to 65 per cent of the husked kernel, has been described as a rich source of pectin (l-3). Although it forms a firm jelly in the presence of appropriate amounts of sugar and acid (1,4) and has been suggested for commercial use as a substitute for pectin (5), it has been shown in preliminary communication...
متن کاملBiosorption of hexavalent chromium in a tannery industry wastewater using fungi species
The isolated fungi species of different kinds from chromium contaminated soil sites located in Nagalkeni, Chennai were used for reducing chromium(VI) in a tannery industry wastewater of Nagalkeni, Chennai. The experiments were conducted to know biosorption potential of isolated fungi species for removing chromium(VI) in a tannery industry wastewater against the different pH, fungi biomass and ...
متن کاملBiosorption of Rhodamine B and Malachite green from aqueous solutions by Tamarindus indica fruit shells
The removal of rhodamine B and malachite green from aqueous solutions was studied in batch adsorption systems using Tamarindus Indica fruit shells as sorbents. The well known Freundlich, Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson isotherm equations were applied to the equilibrium sorption data obtained. The sorption dynamics were found to obey the pseudo-second order rate equation and particle diffusions ap...
متن کاملSix-Month Chronic Toxicity Study of Tamarind Pulp (Tamarindus indica L.) Water Extract
Tamarind water extract has been shown to demonstrate an anti-obesity effect. In this research, long-term use of tamarind pulp water extract safety was evaluated. Tamarind pulp was extracted by reflux method, followed by freeze-drying to obtain dry extract. Wistar rats were divided into six groups, with 20 animals of each sex per group. The control group and satellite control group received carb...
