Effect of Process Variables on Cr (IV) Removal From Liquid Waste Using Guava Leaf (Psidium Guava) Image
Abstract

The removal of Cr(IV) in aqueous solution by Guava Leaf (Psidium Guajava) as a bio-sorbent was experimentally investigated. The experiment was carried out in a batch stirred reactor at room temperature. The effects of certain parameters, such as concentration of bio-sorbent and contact time, were investigated. The removal increased with contact time and concentration of bio-sorbent. The results showed that the contact time is directly proportional to the sorption capacity and the sorption efficiency. The sorption efficiency of Cr (VI) was highest at 5 grams bio-sorbent, while the sorption capacity of Cr (VI) was highest in bio-sorbent 1 gram under current experimental condition. The optimum removal of Cr (VI) using guava leaves occurred while stirring 30 minutes.
