Investigations were carried out for separation/pre concentration of uranium from aqueous solutions of different TDS using Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC). Parameters like amount of PAC, contact time, pH, volume of solutions and reagents for desorption were optimized. The sorption of uranium is more than 95% at pH 4-5 using 0.5 gram PAC with a contact time of 10 minutes.  The sorbed uranium on PAC is recovered using 0.8N HNO<sub>3</sub> and determined by LED Fluorimetry.  Method was successfully applied to ground water, sea water and brine water.  Methodology is simple, selective, cost effective with minimal skills. RSD of the method varies ± 6-14 %.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of activated carbons prepared from Macadamia nutshells as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from aqueous solutions. The activated carbon was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), CHNS analyzer and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). For effective removal of Cr(VI), the optimum parameters found were pH 2, 120 min of contact time and 0.2 g of sorbent. The adsorption data fitted well into the Freundlich model, suggesting a multilayer sorption process. The results demonstrated that Macadamia activated carbon could be used as cost-effective biosorbent for the treatment of aqueous solutions contaminated by Cr(VI) with an adsorption capacity of 22.3 mg g−1. The mode of removal involved adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III).
