The present study removal of toxic heavy metal Cr (VI) ion on bentonite clay from aqueous solution under different experimental conditions and also study sorption capacity are effect different pH, concentration, temperature and contact time of shaking.My study focused on use of bentonite clay as a best adsorbent for the removal of toxic heavy metal Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solution. Initial metal ions concentration increases 50 to 250mgL-1 the % removal Cr (VI) ion decreases from 66.64 % to 53.94 % but amount of sorption increases from 0.833 to 3.371mgg-1, The particle size of bentonite clay increase from 45 to 150μ by amount of adsorption of Cr (VI) decreasing from1.589 mgg-1 to 1.153mgg-1 , pH increasing from 2.0 to 10.0 the amount of sorption decrease from 2.018 to 1.161 mgg-1, temperature increasing from 303K to 313K adsorption is also increases from 1.589 to 1.822mgg-1. Kinetic study for value of rate constant k1 and k2 is favour concentration increases the amounts of the metals sorbent qcal also increases. Q and kf sorption capacity related to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm constant. Value of both is favour sorption is temperature dependent. Thermodynamic study the value of ΔG0 increase -1.402 to -2.655it is best evidence temperature increases from 303K to 323K the adsorption of Cr (VI) ion increases because value of ΔG0 is negative favour the adsorption. My investigation best evidence the value of kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic parameter also favours the Sorption of Cr (VI) ion on bentonite clay from aqueous solution.
