Abstract

The present work deals with the removal of chromium from adsorbate solution using of Eucalyptus and Sakhu saw dusts. The adsorbent material for removal of chromium (VI) ion using fixed double packed adsorption column. The comparative study was done with both plants saw dust, in different pH, temperature, adsorbate concentration and different adsorbate concentrations. It was also observed that the maximum adsorption shows Sakhu saw dust is 91.66% as compared to Eucalyptus saw dust at 50 g adsorbent 50 ppm adsorbate solution with 27 oC temperature and pH
