Water pollution has great impact on environmental degradation. Release of untreated wastewater containing toxic metal ions into natural waters is a threat to aquatic ecosystem and is attributed to affect the health of living things. Date nut carbon was analysed as an adsorbent for extracting Cr(VI) ions from wastewater using batch method. Investigations were done by varying the pH from 1 to 6, carbon dose from 0.1 g to 0.5 g and equilibration time from 1 to 24 hours. Cr(VI) removal of 93% occurred at an optimal pH of 2, carbon dose of 0.3 g/100mL, and equilibration time of 3 hours. The adsorption of Cr(VI) on Date nut carbon followed first order kinetics. The kinetic process of Cr(VI) adsorption onto Date nut carbon was tested by applying first order kinetics.
