This study examined the utilization of Raw Eichhornia crassipes (REC) biomass to exclude the hexavalent chromium heavy metal from synthetic liquid for determination of sorption isotherm, kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of adsorption during the batch experiment process. The effect of adsorbent doses, agitation time and temperature on sorption capacity was studied. The plot qt versus t1/2 determined the intra-particle diffusion effect, which was not passing from the origin of plot indicated that apart from intraparticle diffusion some other mechanism also involved in this study. Freundlich isotherm better fitted as compared to Langmuir isotherm in the present study. The kinetics study show that pseudo-second-order better followed by REC adsorbent. At 293 K temperature, Δ Go negative value suggested that process favoured the sorption and spontaneous in nature, but at higher temperatures, positive values Δ Go confirmed the non-spontaneous nature of adsorption. It is concluded that Eichhornia crassipes dead biomass has the potential to treat wastewaters as an adsorbent.
