Arthrobacter viscosus biomass was used for Cr(VI) biosorption. The effect of pH on Cr(VI) reduction and removal from aqueous solution was studied in the range of 1-4. The Cr(VI) removal involves both redox reaction and adsorption of metal ions on biomass surface. The removal rate of Cr(VI) was enhanced by very acid conditions, while higher solution pH values favored the removal of total chromiu...

adsorption capacity of cr (vi) onto cousinia eryngioides boiss, activated carbon was investigated in a batch system by considering the effects of various parameters like contact time, initial concentration, ph, temperature, agitation speed, absorbent dose and particle size. cr (vi) removal is ph dependent and found to be maximum at ph 2.0. the amounts of cr (vi) adsorbed increased with increase...

Nanoparticles are being intensively investigated because of their unique optical, electrical and catalytic properties which make them a potential material for utilization in the field of medicine electronic and environmental issues. This paper is concerned with the removing a heavy metal, Chromium, from its aqueous solution by Iron oxide nanoparticle filtration. Solutions of varying chromium co...

background and objectives: because of toxical and hazardous properties of hexavalent chromium (cr(vi)), its removal by an economical and efficient method is necessary. the use of activated carbon, as an adsorbent, is a common and effective method for hexavalent chromium removal. thus the aim of this study was to produce granular and powdered activated carbon form peganum harmala and compare the...

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...

An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the removal efficiency of chromium (VI) from aqueous solution using a Borasus flabellifer coir powder as adsorbent. The effect of operational parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, and initial chromium (VI) concentration are studied to optimize the conditions for the maximum removal of chromium (VI) ions. The ANN model was deve...

Chromium in the environment is considered as one of the most toxic elements probably next only to mercury and arsenic. It is acutely toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic in the environment. Chromium contamination of soil and underground water due to industrial activities is a very serious problem in several parts of India covering Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh etc. Functionally modified Ac...

The microbial dried biomass of Thraustochytrids is used as bioadsorbent for the removal of the chromium in aqueous solution. In this investigation, three species of Thraustochydrids namely Aplanochytrium sp., Thraustochytrium sp. and Schizochytrium sp. were tested for the efficiency of chromium accumulation by culturing in chromium-incorporated medium at 30°C for one week incubation. The biomas...
