Hexavalent chromium and its derivatives are potential pollutant due to their mortal affects. Therefore,
It is essential to remove these components from wastewaters before disposal. Adsorption can be effective and
versatile method for removing of hexavalent chromium. In this article, removal of hexavalent chromium via
adsorption on multiwalled carbon nanotubes was investigated as a function of adsorbent dosage, initial solution
pH, initial Cr(VI) concentrations, contact time and temperature. The batch experiments were conducted at 3
different temperatures (17, 27 and 37ºC) and shows that Cr (VI) removal obeys pseudo-second order rate
equation. Rate constant (K) values in 3 temperatures, pre-exponential factor and adsorption activation energy
(E) was also obtained. The sorption data fitted well with Freundlich isotherm adsorption model.
Thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energy (ΔGº), enthalpy (ΔHº) and entropy (ΔSº) for Cr(VI)
adsorption were estimated and Results suggest that the adsorption process is a spontaneous and endothermic.
Key words: Adsorption, adsorption isotherm, adsorption kinetics, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, thermodynamic parameters, ,
