Abstract |
|
Heavy metals, when in abundance, can be very toxic to the medium in which it is dissolved. Adsorption has been used as a suitable water treatment process to remove heavy metals. For this research, sweet lime and Lemon skin were used as the adsorbent to remove, Chromium wastewater. Batch test &the fixed bed column experiments were then followed, as they simulate the filtration process which is the most commonly used in treatment plants for adsorption. The studies on adsorption were conducted by varying various parameters such as contact time, pH, amount of adsorbent, partical size, concentration of adsorbate and temperature. The adsorption capacity was found to be pH dependant. Results have used Freundlich and Langmuir equations to fit the experimental data so that kinetics of the process can be obtained. |
