This study investigated the possibility and efficiency of absorbing chromium (VI) ions from polluted solutions using chemically modified adsorbents, finding the optimal conditions for removal and the superior performance of acid and biochar rice bran in wastewater treatment.
This study investigated the possibility and efficiency of absorbing chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) ions from the polluted solutions by employing the chemically modified adsorbents (alkali, biochar, and acid rice bran), focusing on the possible impacts of the solution's pH values, adsorbent's dosages, concentrations, and contact times. The colorimetric method was used for Cr determination by employing an ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometer. The scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to analyze the characteristics of the modified adsorbents. The findings indicated that the optimized acid, biochar, alkali, and unmodified rice bran removal efficiency for Cr (VI) were 94.50%, 94.27%, 88.60%, and 90.18%, respectively. The increase of adsorbent dosage up to 2 g/L led to a rise in removal effectiveness (82.06%). Furthermore, the highest removal efficiency was obtained (94%) at the pH of 2.0, the contact duration of 100 min, Cr (VI) concentration of 50 mg/L, and dosage of 2 g/L, which was statistically the optimal condition for the modified rice bran. The adsorption kinetics was agreeably suited to pseudo-second-order, whereas the Freundlich isotherm equation was also suitably expounded the study's findings. The findings implied that the acid and biochar rice bran performed remarkably in the remediation of the wastewater compared with alkali rice bran for reuse for industrial, agricultural, and environmental purposes.
