Abstract

The main objective of the present work is the synthesis of adsorbent by using natural  mustard and fenugreek seeds which  is low cost adsorbent . the synthesis is carried out by chemical treatment followed by carbonization at 60°C . the synthesis adsorbent is studied for adsorption of Cr(VI) from industrial waste water for various concentration and doses. It is concluded that the adsorbent developed in the work fairly effective for removing Cr(VI)  from industrial waste water.
