Elimination of Chromium (VI) and Nickel (II) Ions in a Packed Column Using Oil Palm Bagasse and Yam Peels by Angel Villabona-Ortíz, Candelaria Tejada-Tovar, Ángel Darío González-Delgado

“…From the adjustment of the breakthrough curve to the models, it was determined that the model best able to adjust the data was the Thomas model, and the thermodynamic parameters of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) removal suggest that the process on YP is endothermic, while on OPB it is exothermic. In both biomaterials, the process is controlled by spontaneous chemisorption with a great affinity of the active centers for the ions.…”
