Abstract

This study was performed to evaluate Cr(VI) removal performance of three anion-exchange resins with different quaternary amine functional groups by varying the conditions of the solution phase. The effects of process variables on the sorption, such as solution pH, temperature, adsorbent dose, phases contact time, and initial Cr(VI), concentration were performed at laboratory condition. The suitability of Freundlich, Langmuir, and Scatchard isotherm models was investigated for Cr(VI)-resin equilibrium. According to the results, calculated maximum ion-exchange capacities were 280.25 mg/g, 147.67 mg/g, and 163.67 mg/g of Cr(VI)/g, for Eichrom 1-X4, Lewatit M+ M800, and Lewatit A8071, respectively. The sorption kinetics and thermodynamic parameters for the equilibrium were studied for all three resins.

Highlights

• Eichrom 1-X4, Lewatit M+M800, and Lewatit A8071 can be practically implied for the sorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions using batch type reactor.

• The kinetic and thermodynamic results can be used for the fabrication and design of wastewater treatment units.

• Ion exchange of the Cr(VI) is dependent on the initial concentration of Cr(VI), contact time, pH of the solution, and resin amount.
