Biosorption of Cr(III) ions by eggshells

CHOJNACKA, K·2005·Journal of Hazardous Materials

Abstract

The paper presents results of studies carried out on sorption of Cr(III) ions from aqueous solutions by eggshells as a low-cost sorbent. It was found that crushed eggshells possess relatively high sorption capacity, when comparing with other sorbents, that was evaluated as 21-160 mg/g. The effect of process parameters: pH, temperature, initial concentration of Cr(III) ions on the process kinetics was studied. It was found that the equilibrium of the process was reached after 60 min. Also equilibrium studies were performed: the effect of sorbent concentration and equilibrium Cr(III) concentration was studied. The maximum experimentally determined sorption capacity 160 mg/g was obtained at low sorbent concentration at 20 degrees C and pH 5. It was found that sorption capacity increased with the increase of Cr(III) concentration, temperature and sorbent concentration. Mathematical models describing kinetics and equilibrium of sorption were proposed. The process kinetics was described with pseudo-second-order pattern and equilibrium was described with Langmuir-type equation, and the influence of sorbate concentration, with an empirical dependence. The models were positively verified. Eggshells were able to remove the concentration of Cr(III) ions below the acceptable level, i.e. at 40 degrees C, at the initial concentration of metal ions 100 mg/kg, at sorbent concentration 15 g/l.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
