Abstract

Heavy metal influx in to water from anthropogenic activities is of the global concern because of its negative effects on ecosystem. Coagulant protein from Moringa oleifera is eco-friendly biopolymer to remove chromium (VI) from polluted water. Present study is carried out to extract optimize the feasibility condition of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, in removing Cr (VI) by using Moringa Oleifera seed coagulant protein. The optimum percentage of chromium removal achieved at 100 min, at pH 6.
