摘要 Nowadays, nano mineral modified biochars show a promising adsorption capacity for pollutants removals by combining the advantages of porous structure of biochar and unique property of nano minerals. In this work, nano-zinc oxide doped scrap tire derived activated carbon (nZnO-STAC) was synthesized by wetness impregnation method. Equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models while the kinetics of the process were examined using Lagergren Pseudo-first and second order, intraparticle diffusion and Elovich kinetic models. Characterization of the activated carbon by Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD). The surface groups present on the activated carbon surface were determined using the Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Optimization studies were carried out to determine the effects of pH, initial metal concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time and adsorbent particle size on the Cr (VI) removal efficiency. The results showed optimum Cr (VI) removal at pH 3, 10 mg/L concentration, 120 minutes of contact using 1000 - 1400 μm adsorbent particle size at a dosage of 2.5 g/L. The adsorbent structure was found to be predominantly amorphous. The chromium removal efficiency of the adsorbent was around 81.6%. Of the tested kinetic models, the pseudo-second order model exhibited the best fit with the experimental data with an R<sup>2</sup> value of 0.9744. This study clearly demonstrates the feasibility of using the nano-ZnO doped scrap tyre derived activated carbon adsorbent for the remediation of chromium (VI) polluted industrial wastewaters.
