Removal of Chromium from Wastewater using Activated Eggshells

This project paper presents the results of experiment carried out on sorption of Cr (III) ions from chromium solution by eggshells as a low cost sorbent. The eggshell in a powdered form is a potentially beneficial option for the removal of toxic chromium from industrial wastewater. The principal...
