Removal Of Cadmium And Chromium Using Titanium Dioxide Nanowires Under Ultraviolet Radiation

Divalent cadmium, Cd(II) and hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI) are high toxicity chemical substance which may harmful for human being if the amount uptake is too high through consumption and give great threat to our environment. In this study, it focuses on the ability of TiO2 nanowires to remove Cd(II)...
