Abstract: | The anion exchange behaviour of hydrous titanium oxide(HTO) has been exploited for the management of industrialwaste effluents contaminated with chromium(VI). Theadsorption of chromium(VI) by HTO (74.0–140.0 micron) in thepH range 0.5–8.0 has been studied. It is found that theadsorption of chromium(VI) by HTO is at a maximum in the pHrange 1.5–2.0. The interference of diverse foreign ionssuch as nitrate, chloride, sulfate, phosphate, calcium,magnesium, nickel, iron(III), barium etc. on the adsorptionof chromium(VI) by HTO at optimum pH has been investigatedby a batch-operation technique. Break-through capacity,adsorption and elution of chromium(VI) using HTO have beenstudied. It is found that HTO could be reused as anadsorbent for chromium(VI). Finally, chromium(VI) wasrecovered as insoluble chromate compound from waste effluentof Hindustan Motor Limited (HML) of Hooghly, West Bengal, India. |
