Removal of chromium (VI) from aqueous solution using chemically modified orange (citrus cinensis) peel

Abstract: of Cr (VI) ions increased with increase in contact time and remained constant after an equilibrium time of 180 min. The removal of Cr (VI) ions increased with increase in biosorbent concentration with the optimal adsorbent dosage at 4.0 mg/L. The increase in initial Cr (VI) ion concentration led to an increase in the percentage removal of Cr (VI). The adsorption data fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm model with

“…Adsorption techniques are proved to be an effective and attractive process for removal of non-biodegradable pollutants [9], [10] from wastewater. Recently, the removal of metals, compounds and particulates from solution by biological material is recognized as an extension to adsorption and is named as biosorption [11]. Examples of biosorbents are [12], Algae [13], seaweeds [14] microorganisms [15], [16] and several biopolymers [17].…”

“…2a &b). The spectra of FTIR showed several peaks; a broad peak at 3431 and 3433 cm -1 for biosorbent 1 and biosorbent 2 respectively, which indicate to the O-H stretching mode of hydroxyl group characterize hemicellulose, cellulose, pectin, and lignin components (Mandina et al, 2013). Another highly intensive band appeared at 2925 and 2926 cm -1 for two used biosorbents, respectively which is corresponding to -C-H and =C-H stretch vibration of methyl and methylene groups.…”

“…Zeolitized pumice was able to adsorb six metallic cations of Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ and Cr 3+ showing removals of metal ions between 100 and 500 mg/g in a short time and the concentration lowered under the legal limits [32]. The use of fruit peels in adsorption of heavy metals have also been investigated including banana and orange peels [33]. The advantages of using fruit peels as the adsorption material is that they are readily available and less costly [34].…”
