Cr(VI), Mangifera Indica fruit seed shell, commercial activated carbon, Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms, Pseudo first order kinetics.

Activated carbon produced from Mangifera Indica fruit seed shellsandcommercially available activated carbon were usedto eliminate Cr (VI) from the aqueous solution. In the experimental investigation, it was observed that adsorption /removal of hexavalent chromium enhances with the surface area and contact time and reaches equilibrium at the specific time period. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were evaluated for both the adsorbent (activated carbon) and the adsorbate [Cr (IV)], and found that adsorption obeys both of the isotherms and validated thedata obtained from experimentation. Kinetics data was analyzed using the pseudo first order rate equation in order to apprehend the reaction rate constant. In the study it was recorded that the adsorption capacity of Mangifera Indica fruit seed shell activated Carbon is found to be higher than commercial activated carbon.Seeds extracted from Mangifera Indica fruit are the waste product and extensively available with greater functional values, hence it can be effectively treated in lieu of commercial activated carbon.
