Abstract

Hexavalent chromium has been separated from an aqueous solution by fly ash. The particle size distribution and physical properties of fly ash have been illustrated. It is observed that the percent removal of Cr6+ by fly ash is affected by its concentration in aqueous solution, temperature, particle size, and pH. Better separation is obtained at acidic pH and at higher temperature. Particle size has a nonsignificant effect on separation. The reaction kinetics of separation follows first-order kinetics more satisfactorily at higher temperature.
