Hexavalent Chromium Removal and Reduction to Cr (III) by Polystyrene Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine

Abstract: A commercially available chelating polymer, polystyrene tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, was used for the removal of chromium from aqueous solution. The influence of pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and initial Cr (VI) concentration on adsorption was studied. The optimum pH for the removal of Cr (VI) was at pH 5, while optimum contact time and adsorbent dosage were 120 minutes and 10 g/L, respectively. Total chromium and Cr (VI) concentrations were analyzed by ICP-MS and UV-Visible. Adsorption isotherms using Langmu… Show more

“…Thus the FTIR spectra of both BGWM and BGWM‐Cr confirmed that under the experimental condition, the peaks either displayed at the same wave number or shifted a certain extent from their original position. These changes in peaks confirmed Cr (VI) binding on adsorbent surface and also in agreement with the findings of other studies .…”

“…In general, anion adsorption is strongly dependent on the pH of the medium, exhibiting the greatest removal in acidic to neutral solution. As has been demonstrated in previous studies, optimal Cr (VI) adsorption occurs at a pH lower than 4 for various sorbents, such as some metallic (oxy)hydroxides [32][33][34] and natural bio-sorbents, for example, larch bark [35], cooked tea dust [36], papaya seeds [37], raw Bagasse [38], and activated carbon [39]. In the case where iron and aluminum oxides are used as adsorbents, an adsorption efficiency of higher than 80% was reached at a pH of 4 to 6.…”
