Chitosan/Alginate Nanocomposite with Fe Nanoparticles for the Efficient Removal of Hexavalent Chromium Pollutant

Biopolymers and nanomaterials are an excellent choice for removing heavy metals keeping the environment clean. The hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) (or) chromium-6 is usually produced by various industrial processes, which can be a toxic liquid pollutant. In this study, nanopolymeric compound supplemented with Fe nanoparticle was used in extraction (removal) process of Cr6+ present aqueous solutions. Two biopolymers were blended connected (using microemulsion process) to produce nanoparticles (Cht/Alg NPs), have average size 311.2 nm negative charge 23 2 mV. During synthesis, red cabbage extract also make iron (Fe-NPs), these Fe-NPs had semispherical species diameter 21.4 nm. loaded equally distributed chitosan alginate (Cht/Alg) NPs synthesized Fe-NPs. assessment using batch adsorption assays showed that both nanocomposites exhibited more ability than adsorbents under conditions (e.g., pH, initial ion concentration, adsorbent volume, contact time (CT)). At start, concentration 75 ppm, most effective condition found at 5.0 capacity 4 g/L, CT 210 min. These documented results show may completely removed from bulk testing. Therefore, use composite nanopolymers NPs) combined extrapolated aquatic milieu removal Cr6+.
