Studies on defluoridation of water by tamarind seed, an unconventional biosorbent.
Tamarind seed, a household waste from the kitchen is used for the sorptive removal of fluoride from synthetic aqueous solution as well as from field water samples. Batch sorptive defluoridation was conducted under variable experimental conditions such as pH, agitation time, initial fluoride concentration, particle size and sorbent dose. Maximum defluoridation was achieved at pH 7.0. Defluoridat...

متن کاملSome Studies on Assessment of Physical Properties of Tamarind Pulp
Tamarind is an economically important multipurpose spice which is grown both as domesticated spice in farmland and as wild in forest lands. Tamarind fruits can be processed in the variety of food products of commercial importance. The knowledge about physical properties of any biomaterial is essential to design its equipment for processing, storage, transportation and value addition. In the pre...
