Abstract
The current study is focused on using tannery waste called buffing dust to remove hexavalent chromium from an aqueous solution. The buffing dust was characterised by using different technique like FTIR, SEM, and BET analysis. The adsorption experiment was conducted in batch mode. The different operating factors including contact time, dose and initial Cr (VI) concentration were investigated. The optimum adsorption capacity was observed at contact time of 240 min and dose of 1g/100 mL. The adsorption isotherm such as Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin were investigated at different initial concentration. It was observed that Langmuir isotherm model was best fitted for present study with maximum adsorption efficiency of 11.33 mg/g. The kinetic study was performed for pseudo first order and pseudo second order and it was found that pseudo second order model was provided the best match with regression coefficient (R2) of 0.9991.
