This study focused on fabricating an activated bionanomaterial derived from Calotropis procera stem through ball milling. The resulting bionanomaterial was characterized using FTIR, SEM, and BET surface area analysis. Notably, BET analysis revealed a significant increase in surface area (578 m2/g). SEM images exhibited an uneven surface with larger holes and cave-like openings. FTIR analysis indicated the presence of -OH groups on the bionanomaterial's surface. The activated bionanomaterial was then utilized for Cr(VI) adsorption experiments, and optimal adsorption parameters were determined as pH 2, contact time of 180 minutes, adsorbent dosage of 3 g, initial Cr(VI) concentration of 40 ppm, and temperature of 60°C. Thermodynamic analysis demonstrated positive ∆H and negative ∆G values, suggesting an endothermic and spontaneous adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics followed a first-order reaction, and the experimental data aligned well with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
