ADSORPTION OF CR(III) FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS BY POLYACRYLAMIDE-GRAFTED RUBBERWOOD FIBRE: KINETICS, EQUILIBRIUM AND THERMODYNAMIC STUDIES

Cr(III) ions were adsorbed onto polyacrylamide-grafted rubberwood fibre, and effects of aqueous conditions were evaluated. The adsorbent was prepared via graft copolymerization of acrylamide (Am) onto rubberwood fibre (RWF), using ceric ammonium nitrate as an initiator. Fourier transform infrared sp...
