evaluation of removal efficiency of cr (vi) ions from aqueous solution using chitosan

Evaluation of Cr (VI) ion removal from aqueous solution by bio-inspired chitosan-clay composite: Kinetics and isotherms

This paper reports the evaluation of adsorbing Cr (VI) ions on sorbent prepared from chitosan (CHT), a versatile derivative of chitin, and dodecyl amine modified locally available kaolinite clay (Bijoypur clay) (MC) that has excellent mechanical properties and great resistance to chemical and biological attack. The effect of the initial metal ion concentration, solution pH, contact time, and ad...

Removal of Cr(VI) Ions from Aqueous Solutions Using Nickel Ferrite Nanoparticles: Kinetic and Equilibrium Study

Background & Aims of the Study: Heavy metals are the most important and main pollutants because of their accumulation and high toxicity even at very low dose and cause serious hazards to ecological system as well as human health. Thus, their removal has been challenged from drinking water and industrial waters with different technologies. The purpos...

Cr(VI) Removal from Aqueous Solution by Chitosan/Carboxylmethyl Cellulose/Silica Hybrid Membrane

In the present study, chitosan/carboxymethyl cellulose/silica hybrid membrane (CS/CMC/Silica) was prepared by using chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose in the presence of 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as the crosslinking agent and used to remove Cr(VI) iron in effluent. The structure of CS/CMC/Silica hybrid membrane was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron micr...

Use of Agricultural Waste for Removal of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solution

Removal of Cr(vi) from Alkaline Aqueous Solutions Using Chemically Modified Magnetic Chitosan Resins

Chitosan was cross-linked using glutaraldehyde in the presence of magnetite. The resin obtained was chemically modified through the reaction with tetraethylenepentamine followed by glycidyl trimethylammonium chlorid to produce chitosan bearing amine (R1) and chitosan bearing both amine and quaternary ammonium chloride moieties (R2), respectively. The quaternary amine resin (R2) showed a higher ...

Removal of Cr(VI) Species from Aqueous Solution by Different Nanoporous Materials

Background: The removal of toxic metals from sewage and wastewaters is one of the most important concerns in the twenty first century. The removal of poisonous Cr(VI) from aqueous solution by different low-cost available nanoporous adsorbents was investigated in the present study.  Methods: Fumed silica, bentonite (BN), hydrotalcite (HT), MCM-41, Na-Y, mordenite (MOR) and SAPO-34 were ...
