摘要
Two low cost adsorbents were prepared by using groundnut husk and were tested for the removal of chromium. All the experiments were carried out in batch process with chromium spiked samples of drinking water. Silver impregnated groundnut husk carbon and groundnut husk carbon were tested for the removal of chromium(VI). Effects of adsorbent quantity, pH, contact time and agitation rate were investigated on removal of chromium. The adsorption data were fitted well by Freundlich adsorption isotherm. Approximately, 97% of hexavalent chromium was removed at pH 3 within 5 It. It was found that adsorbents chemically modified with an oxidizing agent demonstrated better chromium removal capabilities as compared to pure adsorbents in terms of their adsorption rate. On the basis of present studies, it can be concluded that groundnut husk carbon oxidized with silver treatment, has a higher chromium adsorption capacities. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
