Optimization and mechanisms of rapid adsorptive removal of chromium (VI) from wastewater using industrial waste derived nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, the existence of metal ions in the environment like chromium (VI) is of significant worry because of its high toxicity to many life forms. Therefore, in this study, an inexpensive and eco-friendly nano-adsorbent was produced from the waste of drinking water industry for effective elimination of Cr (VI) from wastewater. The mineralogical and morphological characterization and compositions of the bulk and nano- adsorbents were performed. The adsorption capabilities of nWTRs for Cr(VI) under different experimental conditions of adsorbent dosage, time, Cr (VI) concentration, solution pH, and competitive ions were investigated. The nWTRs adsorbent exhibits very rapid adsorption potential (92%) for Cr (VI) within the first 15 min. Langmuir model showed high predictive capability for de
