Study on the Removal Effect of Chromium(VI) in Wastewater by Rice Husk

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rice husk was used as an adsorbent to study the adsorption of Cr (VI) from wastewater, Based on the experimental studies on influences of the particle size of rice husk, solution pH value, adsorption time, temperature and rice husk dose, the optimal conditions of the adsorption were determined as follows: temperature of 35°C, pH of 2, the particle size of rice husk in the range of 80-100 mesh, adsorption time of 3h, dose of 30g/0.2g. Under the optimal conditions, the removal rate of chromium from wastewater by rice husk can reach 91%.
