Removal of hexavalent chromium by polyethyleneimine impregnated activated carbon: intra-particle diffusion, kinetics and isotherms

Contamination of water by hexavalent chromium generated from man–made activities remains one of the challenges for environmental pollution. Activated carbon impregnated with diluted polyethyleneimine (PEI) solutions was investigated as a possible adsorbent for the remediation of water contaminated w...
