Green methodology for the recovery of Cr (VI) from tannery effluent using newly synthesized quaternary ammonium salt
Leather tanning industries release effluents into the river through various canals. These effluents contain chromium (VI) contaminating the river and the ground water as well. To fix a solution for this issue a simple and selective solvent extraction method has been applied by using a newly synthesized quaternary ammonium salt viz 2-benzoylethylheptyldimethylammonium bromide. By varying the parameters such as quaternary ammonium salts, sulfuric acid, pH, solvents, equilibration time and aqueous organic ratio the extraction efficiency has been determined
