The study examined the adsorption of hexavalent chromium Cr(vi) from aqueous solution by acidically prepared rice husk carbon (APRHC). APRHC was characterized in terms of surface area, micropore area, micropore volume, average pore diameter and surface morphology. The effects of pH, contact time, in...
