Abstract
The present study investigates the potential of chrome sludge, a waste material from electroplating industry, as a sorbent for the removal o f As(V) from aqueous solution. Parameters studied include sorbent dosa ges, temperatures, different initial concentrations and pH values. The sorption of As(V) was rapid and the process of uptake follows the Lan gmuir isotherm model. Maximum sorption capacity of chrome sludge for A s(V) was found to be 21 mg g-1.
