* Corresponding author The potential to remove Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions through biosorption using the husk of Bengal gram (Cicer arientinum), was investigated in batch experiments. The results showed removal of 99.9% of chromium in the 10 mgl chromium solution, the biomass required at saturation was 1 g mg. Kinetic experiments revealed that the dilute chromium solutions reached equilibriu...

Husk of tur dal (Cajanus cajan) was investigated as a new biosorbent for the removal of Fe (III) and Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solutions. Parameters like agitation time, adsorbent dosage and pH were studied at different initial Fe (III) and Cr (VI) concentrations. The biosorptive capacity of the Tur dal husk was dependent on the pH of the chromium and iron solution, with pH 2 and 2.5 respective...

chromium (vi) adsorption behavior and capacity by surface modified nanozeolite a has been investigated. surface modification was performed and the morphology of modified and unmodified nanozeolite was studied using scanning electron microscope (sem) and transmission electron microscope (tem). adsorption isotherms were studied under different conditions (ph, adsorbent dose, adsorbate concentrati...

A new indirect method for the determination of iodide and thiosulfate ions in table salt and milk by flame atomic absorption spectrometry was described. This method is based on the reduction of chromium (VI) to chromium(III) with the reducing action of iodide and/or thiosulfate, separation of unreacted Cr(VI) as its 1,5-diphenilcarbazide complex on a column filled with Amberlite XAD-16, elution...

crown ethers 12-crown-4 (12c4), benzo-15-crown-5 (b15c5), 18-crown-6 (18c6), nitrobenzo-18-crown-6 (nb18c6) dibenzo-18-crown-6 (db18c6) and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (dc18c6), dissolved in dichloromethane, are able to form oxonium-ion complexes in contact with aqueous sulfuric and hydrochloric acid solutions. this ability allows the transfer of cr(vi) oxanions from the acid media, through an orga...

BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of total joint replacement failure is multifactorial. One hypothesis suggests that corrosion and wear of alloys result in metal ion release, which may then cause sensitization and even implant failure, owing to the acquired immune reactivity. OBJECTIVES To assess cobalt, nickel and chromium(VI) release from, and the metal composition of, failed metal-on-ethylene to...

the isolated fungi species of different kinds from chromium contaminated soil sites located in nagalkeni, chennai were used for reducing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater of nagalkeni, chennai.  the experiments were conducted to know biosorption potential of isolated fungi species for removing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater against the different ph, fungi biomass and ...
