optimization of operating parameters affecting the removal of chromium from aqueous solution using bio absorption jujube fruit powder, jujube fruit charcoal and compression with granular activated carbon (gac)

removal of dissolved chromium (vi) by adsorption onto elaeagnus angustifolia fruit charcoal, jujube fruit charcoal and comparison with granular activated carbon (gac)

chromium (cr) is one of the elements presents in crust of the earth. due to its toxicity, chromium is considered as water contaminant that may disturb metabolic activity. in the present study, adsorption of dissolved chromium (vi) onto elaeagnus angustifolia fruit charcoal, jujube fruit charcoal and the standard granular activated carbon (gac) has been investigated and compared. the effect of c...

Removal of Hexavalent Chromium from Aqueous Solution Using Activated Carbon Derived from Palmyra Palm Fruit Seed

In this study, removal of chromium(VI) from aqueous solutions by Palmyra palm fruit seed carbon (PPFSC) and commercial activated carbon (CAC) was investigated. The metal adsorption capacity has been studied as a function of contact time, pH and carbon dosage. The adsorption yields increased with the increasing of adsorbent dosage and contact time, and subsequently reached the equilibrium. The s...

Removal of chromium (VI) from aqueous solution by adsorption using cousinia eryngioides boiss and activated carbon

Adsorption capacity of Cr (VI) onto cousinia eryngioides boiss, activated carbon was investigated in a batch system by considering the effects of various parameters like contact time, initial concentration, pH, temperature, agitation speed, absorbent dose and particle size. Cr (VI) removal is pH dependent and found to be maximum at pH 2.0. The amounts of Cr (VI) adsorbed increased with increase...
