Removal of chromium(VI) from aqueous solutions by coconut husk fibres (CHF) and palm pressed fibres (PPF) was investigated using batch and column techniques. Batch tests showed that pH range for effective Cr(VI) removal was between 1.5 and 5 for CHF and between 1.5 and 3 for PPF. The adsorption capa...
