Adsorption-reduction performance of tea waste and rice husk biochars for Cr(VI) elimination from wastewater

In the current study tea waste and rice husk biochars were used for the elimination of Cr(VI) from wastewater with the objectives to study the effect of pH (3–10), shaking time (0.016–24h), sorbent dose (0.1–1.3g L−1) and initial concentration of Cr(VI) (10–250mg L−1). The Cr(VI) sorption was stu…
