- Abstract
In the present investigation, the efficiency of rice husk in removal of nickel and iron from metal injection moulding industry effluent has been investigated. Adsorption was carried out in a batch experiment to investigate the parameters such as initial metal ion concentration, adsorbent dose, pH and contact time, under constant shaking of 100 mL sample in a heavy rotatory shaking apparatus for 2 hours. Analysis of physico-chemical characteristics of effluent was also carried out. The results revealed that maximum adsorption capacity of rice husk was about 92.84% for nickel using 8 g and about 90.12% for iron using 9 g at pH 9. Due to its good uptake capacity, rice husk has proved to be an excellent low-cost adsorbent for removing nickel and iron from effluent. The result showed that the percentage removal of nickel was high compared to iron.
