Abstract
The present study evaluates adsorption of hexavalent chromium ion (Cr(VI)) from contaminated solution on nano-porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO). The AAO sorbent was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscope. Effects of the solution pH, contact time, and AAO quantity on Cr(VI) adsorption were investigated. It was shown that Cr(VI) adsorption on AAO was strongly pH dependent and Cr(VI) removal increased by decreasing of the pH, Cr(VI) displays anion-type sorption behavior on the AAO sorbent. Chromium ion removal of 82% was obtained at presence of 0.05 g/L AAO, pH of 1, and contact time of 40 min in the solution.
