Abstract:

This study illustrates the process of removal of chromium from chrome tanning waste-water by fly ash which was drive from chrome shaving dust. This experiment was carried out in a batch process with laboratory prepared adsorbent samples and chrome tanning water collected from local tanneries. The influence of various factors likes adsorbent doses, contact time, and initial concentration of chromium on the removal of chromium from effluent was investigated. FTIR analysis was done to identify the functional groups presents in the fly ash. The maximum removal of chromium and absorption capacity was found to be 97.86%. And 23.11 mg/g at chromium concentration of 1000.3mg/l and 1291 mg/l respectively. Total dissolve solid, turbidity, and conductivity were reduced significantly. Waste water samples containing several interfering ions like Na, Fe, Ca, Zn, Mn etc. The langmuir absorption isotherm was also used to explain the nature of adsorption. This result indicates that chrome shaving dust ash can be successfully used to treat chrome tanning wastewater.

Biosorption of Chromium from Tannery Effluent Using Biomass of Sargassum

The release of chromium into water bodies is one of the major concerns of tannery industries. The present work deals with the determination of Chromium removal capacity of powdered biomass of Sargassum wightii (Greville) in synthetically prepared as well as real tannery effluent. The maximum adsorption was obtained after 12 hours of exposure at pH-4, in 8g/L biomass concentration of the seaweed...

Studies on Chromate Removal by Chromium-Resistant Bacillus sp. Isolated from Tannery Effluent

A chromate-removing strain was isolated from spent chrome effluent and identified as Bacillus circulans strain MN1. The isolated strain was studied for resistance to Cr (VI) and its ability to remove Cr (VI). The strain was found to tolerate Cr (VI) concentration as high as 4500 mg/L, but the cells growth was heavily influenced when initial Cr (VI) concentration was increased between 1110 mg/L ...

Hexavalent chromium reduction by bacteria from tannery effluent.

Chromium is generated from several industrial processes. It occurs in different oxidation states, but Cr(III) and Cr(VI) are the most common ones. Cr(VI) is a toxic, soluble environmental contaminant. Some bacteria are able to reduce hexavalent chromium to the insoluble and less toxic Cr(III), and thus chromate bioremediation is of considerable interest. An indigenous chromium-reducing bacteria...

Occurrence of chromium resistant thermotolerant coliforms in tannery effluent.

Twenty six thermotolerant strains resistant to high levels of chromium (50-250 microg/ml) were isolated from treated tannery effluent. They were also found resistant to multiple heavy metals and antibiotics. Majority of them were resistant to copper and bacitracin. Nine strains representing different resistance patterns were selected for plasmid profile and conjugation studies. Agarose gel elec...

Treatment of Tannery Effluent Using a Rotating Disc Electrochemical Reactor.

  A novel rotating disc electrochemical (RDE) reactor has been developed to treat tannery effluent. Experiments were carried out in batch, batch recirculation, and once-through modes in the reactor covering wide range of operating conditions. The effect of current density (i), cathode rotation speed (R), electrolysis time (t), influent pH, and electrolyte flow rate (Q) on the pollutant removal ...
