چکیده

the biosorption of hexavelent chromium from saline solutions by posidonia oceanica, a marinebiomass, was studied as a function of ph, initial chromium (vi) and salt (nacl) concentrations in batchsystem. the sorbent exhibited the maximal chromium (vi) uptake at ph 2 regardless of the presence ofincreasing salt concentration. equilibrium uptake increased with chromium (vi) concentration up to 250 mg/l and decreased slightly in the presence of increasing salt concentrations of salt up to 50 g/l. the biomassadsorbed 14.48 mg of metal per gram of biomass at 100 mg/l initial chromium concentration in the absence ofsalt. when 50 g/l salt concentration was added to the solution, the value diminished to 11.49 mg/g under thesame conditions (i.e. a 20.6% decrease in the biosorption capacity). the equilibrium sorption data wereanalyzed using freundlich, langmuir and redlich-peterson models. the langmuir equation was the mostsuitable adsorption model for describing the biosorption equilibrium data of chromium (vi) both in salt freeand loaded media. the pseudo-second-order type kinetic model depicted the biosorption kinetics accuratelyat all chromium concentrations in absence and presence of increasing concentrations of salt.

Removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution using canola biomass: Isotherms and kinetics studies

The removing of hexavalent chromium from wastewater or decreasing its chromium (VI) content up to the permitted levels is important due to its non-biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and cancer-causing and toxic effects. In the present study, biosorption of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions using canola was investigated. The various physicochemical parameters such as pH, initial Cr (VI) ion concentra...

Application of modified bentonite using sulfuric acid for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions

Background: Environmental contamination by chromium (Cr) has become an important issue due to its adverse effects on human health and environment. This study was done to evaluate the application of modified bentonite using sulfuric acid as an adsorbent in the removal of hexavalent Cr from aqueous solution. Methods: Adsorbent features were determined using x-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transf...

Removal of Vanadium(III) and Molybdenum(V) from Wastewater Using Posidonia oceanica (Tracheophyta) Biomass

The use of dried and re-hydrated biomass of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica was investigated as an alternative and -low-cost biomaterial for removal of vanadium(III) and molybdenum(V) from wastewaters. Initial characterisation of this biomaterial identified carboxylic groups on the cuticle as potentially responsible for cation sorption, and confirmed the toxic-metal bioaccumulation. The combine...

Biosorption of Hexavalent Chromium from Aqueous Medium with Opuntia Biomass

The biosorption of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions by Opuntia cladodes and ectodermis from cactus fruits was investigated. Both types of biomass are considered low-cost, natural, and ecofriendly biosorbents. Batch experiments were carried out to determine Cr(VI) biosorption capacity and the efficiency of the biosorption process under different pH, initial Cr(VI) concentration, and so...

Hexavalent Chromium Removal from Aqueous Solutions by Adsorption onto Synthetic Nano Size ZeroValent Iron (nZVI)

The present work was conducted for the synthesis of nano size zerovalent iron (nZVI) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) removal as a highly toxic pollutant by using this nanoparticles. Batch experiments were performed to investigate the effects of Cr(VI), nZVI concentration, pH of solution and contact time variation on the removal efficiency of Cr(VI). nZVI was synthesized by reduction of ferric ...
