There are currently heavy metals in most industrial effluents which are among the most significant environmental pollutants. Hexavalent chromium is one of the most significant heavy metals. In this research for the first time, eliminating the hexavalent chromium from the aqueous medium/aquedia applying bee carcasses and corpses modified with polyethylene was examined. Adsorption experiments were conducted discontinuously on laboratory solutions, including hexavalent chromium. The optimal adsorption conditions such as different pH factors, contact time, initial chromium concentration, and adsorbent value on the adsorption rate were examined at different levels, and adsorption isotherms were plotted. Some adsorbent properties were examined using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, XRD analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and BET test to study the properties of the synthesized adsorbent. This study indicated that the highest percentage of removal related to polyethylene composite and bee carcasses in the presence of polyethylene glycol was 50.56% among the bee carcasses composites. The parameters effective on the adsorption process for polyethylene composite and bee carcasses and losses in the presence of polyethylene glycol suggested that the adsorption percentage increased for this composite by decreasing the pH, increasing the contact time, and increasing the adsorbent. The highest percentage of adsorption was obtained when the pH was 2, the contact time was 120 min and the adsorbent value was 8 g/L and the initial concentration of chromium was 100 ppm. The most optimal removal percentage was achieved at the pH = 2, the contact time was 30 min, and the adsorbent value was 2 g/L, and the initial chromium concentration was 100 ppm. The results of drawing adsorption isotherms also indicated that higher R2 had a better fit than Langmuir for polyethylene composite and bee carcasses in the polyethylene glycol Freundlich equation.
