abstract

rice husk is as an organic solid waste material that has high adsorbing capacity in removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater, and can be very effective in treating industrial aqueous solutions that are important sources of water and soil pollution. in this study, the removal of zn(ii) and cr(vi) ions from aqueous solutions using rice husk was investigated. the investigated parameters included acidity, initial concentrations of ions in aqueous solution, contact time, temperature and the amount of adsorbent matter used for treatment. with increasing ph of the solution, the adsorption of zinc and chromium ions by rice husk were increased and decreased, respectively. the maximum adsorption was occurred in ph 7 and 2. moreover, with increasing initial concentration of metals, the removal efficiencies of zinc and chromium were decreased. while, with increasing the contact time, the removal efficiencies were increased and reached an equilibrium after 2 and 3 hours for zinc and chromium, respectively. the metal adsorption is also dependent on the reaction temperature, so that by increasing temperature the percentage of adsorption was increased. with increasing the amount of husk rice to the solution, the percentages of adsorption of zinc and chromuim were increased. rice husk showed to be a proper absorbent for the removal of zn (ii) and cr (vi) from aqueous solutions.

Removal of Congo red from aqueous solutions using nano-Chitosan

It is now recognized that adsorption using low-cost adsorbents is an effective and economic method for water decontamination. Chitosan is derived by deacetylation of the naturally occurring biopolymer chitin which is the second most abundant polysaccharide in the world after cellulose. In this study, the capacity of the chitosan nanoparticles was studied for the removal of the anionic Congo red...

Removal of Surfactants from wastewater by Rice Husk

Surfactants are one of the major components (10- 18%) of detergents and household cleaning products and are used in high volumes in developed countries. In the present research work, the ability of rice husk as a low cost adsorbent for anionic and nonionic surfactants in wastewater has been studied. The maximum removal efficiency for anionic surfactants was 97%, in an aqueous solu...
