    Removal of Chromium from Industrial Wastewater by Adsorption Using Coffee Husk
    Author(s): Dessalew BerihunDessalew Berihun

    Fresh water is vital to human life and economic well-being, and societies extract vast quantities of water from rivers, lakes, wetlands, and underground aquifers but most of these freshwater sources are polluted by different chemicals discharged from industries. Our need for fresh water has long caused us to overlook equally vital benefits of water that remains in streams to sustain healthy freshwater habitats. Heavy metals are discharged from different industries into freshwaters and are easily absorbed by fish and other aquatic organisms. Small concentrations can be toxic because heavy metals undergo bio concentration. Chromium is an essential element that is required in small amounts for carbohydrate metabolism, but becomes toxic at higher concentrations. The most bioavailable and therefore most toxic form of chromium is the hexavalent Cr (VI) ion. It is well recognized as an el.. Read More»
