Adsorption is the vital for the elimination of Cr6+ and Pb2+ ions in the contaminated solution medium using a ternary blend made up of Chitosan, Nylon 6 and Polyurethane foam (CS/Ny 6/PUF) blend in the ratio of 2:1:1 has been investigated. These blends are used as an adsorbent due to the insoluble nature in acidic and basic medium. The adsorption efficacy was analyzed by modifying pH, Contact time, and adsorbent dosage. The maximum uptake of metal ions has been exhibited in the pH range 5. An equilibrium adsorption statistic indicated that adsorption isotherm follows Freundlich model. The adsorption kinetic parameters specified that the adsorption of chromium has been showed pseudo-second-order and lead pseudo-first-order reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
