摘要
Carbon waste was used as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution of K2Cr2O7. The experiments were carried out at different doses of adsorbent (0.1-0.8g), pH (1-7), and initial metal ion concentration (1-30mg/L). Different adsorption isotherms such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich were tested. Langmuir adsorption isotherm was found to have highest regression value and hence the best-fit. Pseudo-second-order fitted best the kinetic data. Further, it was found that 92% chromium(VI) removal is possible at pH 2.0, adsorbent dose 0.6g/50ml, metal ion concentration 20mg/L, and time 120 min. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the sorption process is endothermic and spontaneous in nature.
