Abstract

In the present manuscript, an attempt has been made to remove chromium metal ions from synthetic effluent using adsorption process. The synthesized titanium dioxide nanoparticles were used as adsorbents. Adsorption studies were performed in batch process. Various characterization of synthesized nanoparticles such as XRD analysis, optical properties of nanoparticles using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, concentration of chemical bonds, and atomic arrangement using (FTIR) have been performed and analyzed. The dependency of adsorption percentage of metal ions and equilibrium amount of metal adsorbed with respect to pH, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, and temperature are studied. Mechanisms of metal ion adsorption process explained by various adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetic models. The criteria for statistical significance of correlation coefficient ( R 2 ) for fitting the experimental data to the various isotherms were tested and analyzed. The experimental results reveal that synthesized titanium dioxide nanoparticles could be used as adsorbents in order to remove chromium ions present in industrial wastewater.
