Abstract: novel bio – adsorbent Lagenaria siceraria, chemically activated was prepared for the removal of chromium ions from aqueous solutions. Structure, morphology and pore size distributions were studied using SEM, EDAX and BET. The adsorption kinetics (Intra – particle diffusion, pseudo 1st order and 2nd order) and isotherms (Langmuir and Freundlich models) were used to analyse the adsorption capacities of chromium ions on the adsorbent surfaces at optimum pH, dose and contact time of 3, 4 g/L and 120 min respectively. The studied experimental data confirms that pseudo 2nd order kinetics fits best with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.99 but agrees well with both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms with correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.96 and 0.94 respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity attained was 6.325 mg/g with a maximum percentage removal of 86%.
