WATER HYACINTH BIOMASS (WHB) FOR THE BIOSORPTION OF HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM: OPTIMIZATION OF PROCESS PARAMETERS

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) biomass has been used for many years for the remediation of heavy metals. The present study successfully utilizes the dried powdered biomass of the aerial part (stem and leaves) of water hyacinth for biosorption of hexavalent chromium. The effect of various para...
