aims: heavy metals are the main pollutants in nature. chromium is a heavy metal which is widely used. hexavalent chromium solubility and mobility in aqueous solutions is so high and it is easily reduced. biosorption is a process in which heavy metals are uptake through passive binding by nonliving biomass from aqueous solutions. the present study aimed to determine the capability of powdered sp...

It is based on the experiments conducted for study of chromium removal and recovery from chrome tanning waste water of leather industry for chromium removal about 98.5% was achieved at pH 8.0 and at this pH reduction of COD is 61.5 % and percentage for removal of color from the wastewater of leather industry is 99.5% under applying the batch experimental condition. For this purpose, it is carri...

background: the presence of heavy metals in the environment especially in water supplies have caused many concerns because of their toxicity and non-degradability. hexavalent chromium (cr) is one of the most toxic metals which is used in many industries, so it is essential to remove it from industrial wastewater. in this study, we made a comparison between different adsorption isotherms in the ...

background : hexavalent chromium ( cr (vi)) is an important contaminant in surface and groundwater and its removal from contaminated water and wastewater has received interest in recent years. this study aimed to explain the removal process of cr (vi) from aqueous solution using nano hydroxyapatite (n-hap) as an adsorbent material. methods: cr (vi) removal experiments with the prepared n-hap we...

Chromium (VI) is one of the heavy metals in water and wastewater that has the most toxic characteristic. Consequently, it is dangerous for human and environmental health. Various methods are used for removal of the chromium from wastewater, and new methods have been developed in recent years. Recent studies and investigations on the removal of environmental pollution selected methods that were ...

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...

With the building wastes contaminated by chromium in Haibei Chemical Plan in China as objects, we studied the contents of total Cr and Cr (VI) of different sizes, analyzed the effect of 6 different washing agents, discussed the removal mechanisms of 6 different washing agents for Cr in various forms, and finally selected applicable washing agent. As per the results, particle size had little imp...

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...

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...
