dc.description.abstractIn this study activated carbon from pods of wood apple, an agro waste has been used as an adsorbent for removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions. Parameters, such as adsprbent dosage, concentration of the adsorbate, contact time, and pH were optimized with regard to Cr (VI) removal using the selected adsorbent. To analyze the efficiency of the activated carbon from wood apple (ACW) the experiments were also conducted with commercial activated carbon (ACC) and the result compared. The adsorption of Cr (VI) was found to be concentration and pH dependent. Percentage removal of Cr (VI) increased with decrease in pH and increase in adsorbent dosage for both ACC and ACW. On applying the adsorption data to Langmuir equation, linear plots of 1/Ce vs x/m obtained shows that the adsorption of Cr (VI) using activated carbon prepared from the pod of wood apple and commercially activated carbon followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Thus adsorption technique using activated carbon from agro wastes, like pods of wood apple is found to be an efficient method for the removal of heavy metals, like Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions.en_US
