摘要
Removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous medium by using activated cow dung carbon was studied. Cow dung was carbonized and activated by treating with concentrated H2SO4 followed by heating for 24 h at 120 degreesC. The extent of adsorption was studied as a function of pH, contact time, amount of adsorbent, concentration of adsorbate, and temperature. At lower pH (<3.5), the prepared sorbent was capable of removing <similar to>90% Cr(VI) at 5 ppm concentration from aqueous synthetic solution. The dynamics of migration of the sorbate ions from the bulk onto the sorbent surface was studied and the results obtained under various experimental conditions were found to follow standard adsorption isotherms. The reaction kinetics was found to be of first order. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
