Analysis of Carbonated Biosorbents Application in Heavy Metal Removal from Synthetic Wastewater
Authors
Abstract:
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effects of removal of hexavalent Chromium using carbonated almond green hulls. In the present study, derived carbon fromalmond green hulls of zonal district of Iran were used to remove hexavalent Chromium from Synthetic wastewater. Materials and Methods: The effects of pH (2-10), Adsorbent dose (2-24 g/L), Cr (VI) concentration (10-100 mg/L), Contact time (1-60 min) and temperature (5-50°C) were studied. The experimental data fitted well to Langmuir isotherm (R2 = .853; maximum adsorption capacity 1.90 mg/g). At the end, to assess hexavalent Chromium, Spectrophotometer UV/VIS Spectrometer T80+ at 540 nm wavelength was used. Results: The findings of the present study revealed that hexavalent Chromium removal was highly dependent on the pH. Surprisingly it was understood that due to limited space in the adsorbent, the increase in the initial hexavalent Chromium density caused the removal efficiency to decrease. Conclusion: Carbonated almond green hull does efficiently remove hexavalent Chromium from industrial water wastes.

full textHeavy metal removal from wastewater using various adsorbents: a review
Heavy metals are discharged into water from various industries. They can be toxic or carcinogenic in nature and can cause severe problems for humans and aquatic ecosystems. Thus, the removal of heavy metals fromwastewater is a serious problem. The adsorption process is widely used for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater because of its low cost, availability and eco-friendly nature. Both...
full textRemoval of heavy metals from waste water using different biosorbents
The discharge of waste water containing heavy metals like Cr, Cd, Cu from tanneries, electroplating units, metal processing industry etc is the major cause for metal pollution which in turn causes adverse effects in the environment. The conventional methods available for removal of heavy metal are costly and also produce some toxic sludge. This has lead to the invention of new technology like b...
