Removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution by activated charcoal derived from Sapindus trifoliate L fruit biomass using continuous fixed bed column studies

In this study, the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution were examined using activated charcoal derived from Sapindus trifoliate L fruit biomass in continuous fixed-bed column studies. The activated S. trifoliate L fruit charcoal was prepared by treating the fruit powder using concent...
