Abstract:During biosorption, the biosorbent releases many organic compounds to the medium. In the present study, extracts of pomegranate peel (PP), green coconut shell (GCS), and karuvelam wood (KW) were prepared at three different conditions, namely 12 h, 3 h, and 3 h at pH 2, for the removal of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)]. The amount of organic compounds, mainly the leached organic compounds in the extract before and after treatment with Cr(VI) solution, was determined by chemical oxygen demand analysis. The total p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
