Removal chromium (VI) from water by magnetic carbon nano-composite made by burned straw

Abstract

Magnetic activated carbon Nano composite was made by burning Gundelia tournefortii straw in a simple and inexpensive method. Effects of the magnetic activated carbon Nano composite on Chromium (VI) adsorption from water was measured in terms of various parameters. Adsorbent has been characterizing by FTIR, VSD, UV, SEM and XRD studies. Adsorption practical carried out systematization by batched practical in investigating the influence of differentiable factors, as such as absorbent dose, Chromium (VI) concentration, pH, contact time and temperature. Our results show that the prepared Nano composite is ferromagnetic and the optimal condition for removing obtained as follows: 50ppm concentrations, pH=5, 0.03 gr of adsorbent dose and 25C temperature. We show that activated carbon magnetic Nano composite can be used as a potential absorbent for removing Chromium ions from water. The cleaning solution of synthetically waste of water possesses had been a successful performer by swift removals via chromium (VI) through Artichoke Straw particle from aqueous sol.
