Recycling of Industrial Solid Wastes: 'Waste' Fe/Cr Hydroxide as an Adsorbent for the Removal of Toxic Ions and Dyes from Wastewater

'Waste' Fe III /Cr III hydroxide, generated from the treatment of Cr VI in fertiliser industry effluent, was used as an adsorbent for the removal of toxic ions such as AsIII, Hg II , Cr III and PO 4 3– , and dyes such as Rhodamine-B and Procion Orange M2R, from aqueous solutions. The remov...

Description
Summary:'Waste' Fe III /Cr III hydroxide, generated from the treatment of Cr VI in fertiliser industry effluent, was used as an adsorbent for the removal of toxic ions such as AsIII, Hg II , Cr III and PO 4 3– , and dyes such as Rhodamine-B and Procion Orange M2R, from aqueous solutions. The removal was efficient except for Procion Orange.
