Abstract
Bird bone was used as adsorbent to remove chromium from Titanium industry effluent which was located in Trivandram. Laboratory experimental investigation was carried out to identify the binding of chromium ions by bird bone was found to be mainly influenced by pH, with maximum sorption 14.45 ± 0.98 ppm found in the effluent after adsorption at pH 7. The metal uptake by bird bone particles was maximum (13.35 ± 0.75 ppm) at room temperature and increasing temperatures decreased the Cr ion uptake.
