Removal Of Chromium(Vi) And Chromium(Iii) Ions From Aqueous Solution Using Bio-Char Generated From Agricultural Waste Products, Diego Fernando Gonzalez
Removal Of Chromium(Vi) And Chromium(Iii) Ions From Aqueous Solution Using Bio-Char Generated From Agricultural Waste Products, Diego Fernando Gonzalez
Theses and Dissertations
Heavy metals are one of the most persistent and prevalent contaminants in the aquatic environment. The removal of chromium from aqueous solution, especially in the hexavalent form is difficult. New technologies, techniques and/or new materials have been designed in order to effectively and efficiently remove chromium from the aqueous environment. The project focuses on the comparison of the effects of pH, time, temperature, binding capacity on bio-char’ generated from agricultural waste produces vs an amino modified derivative of the bio-char. Pineapple skins were dried, ground, sieved, and pyrolyzed to produce a bio-char material. The bio-char was analyzed using FTIR to …
