Application of Citrullus lanatus rind as biosorbent for removal of trivalent chromium from aqueous solution
Watermelon rind (WR) an agro waste was evaluated as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr3+ ions from aqueous solution. Batch mode adsorption studies were performed by varying parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and initial metal ion concentration. Maximum loading capacity of WR was fou...
