Abstract

Activated carbon (AC) was prepared using locally available agricultural wastes like rice husk and sugarcane bagasse. These were used as adsorbents for the removal of Chromium from potassium dichromate solution. Batch mode adsorption studies were carried out by varying contact time, adsorbent dosage and pH. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were applied to model the adsorption data. The adsorption of Chromium was pH dependent and maximum removal was observed in the acidic pH range.
