Description 31-38
This study presents an investigation into the effectiveness of utilizing biomass derived from Prosopis juliflora
(Mesquite) and bagasse for the removal of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] from water sources. The experimental analysis
includes examining the impact of various factors such as adsorbent type, concentration, and temperature on the removal
efficiency of Cr(VI). The obtained data reveal that both Mesquite and bagasse exhibit varying degrees of removal efficiency
under different experimental conditions. Mesquite demonstrates higher removal percentages for specific Cr(VI)
concentrations, particularly at 100 ppm and a temperature of 60°C. On the other hand, bagasse showcases better removal
efficiency for certain concentrations. The comparative analysis of the two adsorbents indicates the influence of their distinct
properties on the removal process. The results emphasize the importance of carefully selecting the appropriate adsorbent and
optimizing operating conditions to achieve efficient Cr(VI) removal. The findings of this study contribute to the
understanding of the potential of Mesquite and bagasse as adsorbents for hexavalent chromium removal and underscore the
need for tailored strategies to address diverse water contamination scenarios.
