Adsorption of Chromium (VI) from Aqueous Solution by Using Mangifera indica Bark Dust
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Water is the most natural resource and it is essential for all forms of life. Without water man can’t surviv. Due to population explosion, urbanization and industrialization the water is getting polluted day by day unlike in the past, When natural resources are considered to be abundant, the present situation is completely different. Outdated technologies by the industries cause a lot of waste. These wastes enter into the water and soil systems directly or indirectly through various processes. It is a responsibility of any individual and environmental scientist to address this problem to control and take this problem at grass root to find an economical solution. The present study deals with the removal of chromium (VI) by adsorption process by using a waste and ecofriendly material such as Mangifera indica. The experiments are conducted by batch process. Experiments are conducted with respect contact time, concentration and adsorbent dosage. The optimum contact time found is equal . The optimum dosage is equal to 0.8gms. The percentage removal is ranging between 93% - 95%.
