INVESTIGATION OF THE USE OF ADSORPTION, CERAMIC MEMBRANE, HYBRID SYSTEMS IN Cr(VI) REMOVAL

Abstract

In this study, Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions by adsorption-ceramic membrane hybrid system was investigated. For this aim batch adsorption, batch ceramic membrane and adsorption-ceramic membrane hybrid systems experiments were conducted. Platanus orientalis (sycamore fruit) treated with 1 M H2SO4 was used as adsorbent in adsorption experiments. Ceramic membranes produced by İLKSEM Engineering Incorporated Company were used in experiments. Membranes produced from different materials have different pore sizes.  Cr(VI) removal yield was obtained as 90.1% by adsorption (contact time 3 hours)- ceramic membrane hybrid system.
