ADSORPTION OF HEAVY METALS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION ONTO ACTIVATED CARBON DERIVED FROM Balanites aegyptiaca SEEDS

ABSTRACT A series of batch experiments were conducted in order to investigate the feasibility of Balanites aegyptiaca seeds based activated carbon as compared with industrial activated carbon for the removal of chromium, lead, copper, cobalt, nickel, cadmium and manganese from aqueous solution by the adsorption process within 30 to 150 min contact time. The Activated samples were prepared using Zinc chloride and tetraoxophosphate V acid. Investigation was carried out by ...

PACKED BED REACTOR SYSTEM STUDY ON THE BIOSORPTION OF Cr(VI) FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION USING CORN COB POWDER

ABSTRACT The current method used in the treatment of Cr(VI) uses biosorbents that are expensive hence the need for cheaper available biosorbent. In this study,potential use of corn cob powder biomass, as a bioremediation agent for the removal of Cr(VI) was investigated in a packed bed column bioreactor. The effects of the operating parameters such as influent Cr(VI) concentration, pH, biomass concentration, flow rate and temperature, on the Cr(VI) removal ...
