Abstract
In the present era, due to industrial revolution in the developing country like India, the
ground water system has been largely polluted, especially with heavy metals like
chromium. The removal of such heavy metals from industrial effluents and from wastewater
has become a subject of keen interest. This paper deals with the removal of chromium from
its aqueous solution using egg shell, a waste material as an adsorbent. Experimental
results vividly demonstrate that this extraction method was found to be cheaper, quicker
and more efficient than other conventional techniques. The results are interpreted in the
light of Loggergren’s model.
