ABSTRACT:
Various technologies are employed for heavy metals removal from effluents of different industries before they discharged in the environment these includes precipitation, reduction, ion exchange and absorption. Heavy metals, when swallowed or inhaled into our bodies lead to bioaccumulation in our system and thus cause biological and physiological complications. Metal toxicity causes the formation of free radicals which causes DNA damage, depletion of protein sulphydryls and lipid peroxidation together with other effects. Efforts have been put by many scientists to develop alternate inexpensive methods for heavy metals removal using agriculture products having important sites for metal sorption such as apple residues, soyabean husk, orange peels etc. In the present work, sugarcane was used as biosorbent as they are economical, low cost, easily available and effective. The key purpose of this work is to use the efficiency of sugarcane for the removal of Cr (VI) ions from synthetic waste water. The residual Cr (VI) ions concentration was checked by using UV Spectrophotometer. Pretreatment of sugarcane waste was done with 0.1 N HCl, 0.1 N NaOH and reaction variables such as concentration of Cr (VI) in solution and contact time were studied. Physical characterization of sugarcane waste and pretreated sugarcane waste was done by using FTIR spectroscopy.
