Natural biosorbents (garlic stem and horse chesnut shell) for removal of chromium(VI) from aqueous solutions

Abstract: The biosorption of Cr(VI) by the garlic stem (GS)-Allium sativum L. and horse chesnut shell (HCS)-Aesculus hippocastanum plant residues in a batch type reactor was studied in detail for the purpose of wastewater treatment. The influence of initial Cr(VI) concentration, time, and pH was investigated to optimize Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions and equilibrium isotherms and kinetic data. This influence was evaluated. The adsorption capacity of the GS and the HCS for Cr(VI) was determined with the Langmuir a… Show more

“…The fitness of adsorption can be compared according to R L value. If R L is between 0 and 1, it specifies the relevance of Langmuir adsorption isotherm [6,7]. R L values of Cr(VI) are 0.25.…”

“…The fruit shells of horse-chestnut have shown promise as a biosorbent of chromium and copper from aqueous solutions (Parlayıcı & Pehlivan, 2015;Parus, 2018). Nanoparticles of ZnO, 50-100 nm diameter, have also been produced from the fruit shells (Çolak, Karaköse, & Duman, 2017).…”

“…In another report, garlic wastes has been used as an unconventional bio-adsorbent of Pb 21 , Sn 21 , Fe 21 , Hg 21 , As 31 , and Cd 21 at different adsorbent/metal ion ratios. Moreover, the biosorption of Cr (VI) by the garlic stem in a batch type reactor was studied by Parlayici and Pehlivan [79]. The adsorption process followed Langmuir model for all metals, which indicates that ion exchange took place on the surface of adsorbent.…”

“…The applicability of garlic by-products as adsorbent to remove heavy metals [74][75][76][77][78][79], phenol [80], fluoride [81], and dyes [38,82] has shown to have high potentials ( Table 3). Garlic by-product has been proved to be a low cost, low maintenance and reusable way to clean up hazardous waste.…”
