Cr(VI) Sorption/Desorption on Pine Sawdust and Oak Wood Ash
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this work was to study Cr(VI) sorption/desorption on two by-products from the wood industry: pine sawdust and oak wood ash. The retention/release experiments were carried out using standard batch-type trials. In the sorption-phase experiments, pine sawdust showed 23% sorption when a concentration of 100 mg Cr(VI)L-1 was added, whereas sorption on oak wood ash was 17%. In the desorption-phase, chromium release was clearly higher from pine sawdust than from oak wood ash (98% and 66%, respectively). Sorption curves were well fitted to the Freundlich and Lineal models. In view of the results, both materials can be considered of very limited value to remove Cr from polluted soil and water, which can be of relevance regarding its appropriate use as biosorbents and recycled by-products.

Chromium is abundant in nature and has a dominant presence in most of the effluent streams as compared to other heavy metal ions. The presence of highly toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in effluent streams is a major environmental issue. The electroplating and tannery industry effluents are the major source for the Cr(VI) production in wastewater streams. The present work dea...

Aiming to investigate the efficacy of different materials as bio-sorbents for the purification of As-polluted waters, batch-type experiments were employed to study As(V) sorption and desorption on oak ash, pine bark, hemp waste, mussel shell, pyritic material, and soil samples, as a function of the As(V) concentration added. Pyritic material and oak ash showed high sorption (90% and >87%) and l...

Batch-type experiments were used to study competitive As(V) and P sorption on various soils and sorbent materials. The materials assayed were a forest soil, a vineyard soil, pyritic material, granitic material, coarsely and finely ground mussel shell, calcinated mussel shell ash, pine sawdust and slate processing fines. Competition between As(V) and P was pronounced in the case of both soils, g...

The bio sorption capacity of the sawdust for hexavalent chromium was studied at different solution pH values (1.5-6), initial metal concentration (50450 mg/L), adsorbent dose (1-7 g/L). The maximum adsorption of Cr (VI) is obtained at pH 1.5, initial concentration 50 ppm and adsorbent dose 5 g/l. The adsorption of c...
