Removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution by London plane leaves

Abstract: The effect of initial metal concentration, contact time and solution temperature on the removal of Cr(VI) from solution by waste London plane leaves, generated by the pruning of street trees, was investigated in batch mode conditions. The removal of Cr(VI) was highly concentration-dependent and mainly governed by physico-chemical adsorption under the weak acidic conditions studied. The equilibrium data fit well in the Langmuir isotherm model. The Langmuir constants were calculated at different temperatures and… Show more

“…The removal of metal ions increased with the increase in biosorbent concentration and attained equilibrium after 0.25 g of adsorbent dosage for the chromium (VI) ions. This is due to availability of more biosorbent as well as greater availability of surface area (Aoyama, 2003). The removal of Cr(VI) is highly favoured at pH 3 and the same pH is maintained through out the experiments.…”

“…The removal of metal ions increased with the increase in biosorbent concentration and equilibrium was attained after 4 g/L of adsorbent dosage for the chromium (VI) ions. This is due to availability of more biosorbent sites as well as enhanced surface area [41]. The decrease in the rate of Cr (VI) uptake at adsorbent dose greater that 2 mg/L may be due to competition of the Cr (VI) ion for the sites available [42].…”
