Abstract:

The dry powder of Potamogeton crispus was developed as an efficient biosorbent material for the removal Cr(Ⅵ) from wastewater. The effects of adsorption equilibrium time, grain size of adsorbent particles, initial pH, the dosage of adsorbent, initial concentration of Cr(Ⅵ), and ionic strength on the adsorption performance were investigated by single-factor experiments. The adsorption process follows the pseudo second-order kinetic with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9998. The experimental data fit with Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(Ⅵ) by Potamogeton crispus is 35.0 mg/g.
