Studies on Bioaccumulation of Cr(VI) in Phaseolus mungo with titanium industrial waste

Authors(2) :-Mindi Ramakrishna, Narasimhulu Korrapati

Rutile is an interesting, varied and important mineral. Rutile is a major ore of titanium, a metal used for high tech alloys because of its light weight, high strength and resistance to corrosion. Rutile is also unwittingly of major importance to the gemstone markets. It also forms its own interesting and beautiful mineral specimens. Contamination of soils, ground water, sediments, surface waters and air with trace metals is one of the major environmental problems. This study focused on the investigation of the capability of the dried biomass of Phaseolus mungo (L.) to remove heavy metal (chromium) from titanium industry effluent. From the results it was confirmed that P.mungo can be effectively used for the treatment of heavy metal polluted industry effluent
