Abstract:A wide application of chromium (Cr) in industries has discharged large quantity of Cr(VI) into the environment. Cr(VI) is a strong oxidizing agent that can react rapidly to produce toxic compounds to humans. Various agricultural products and byproducts have been studied for the sorptive removal of Cr(VI). However, less attention has been given to the presence of Cr(III) in solution after the adsorption with significant effect to actual adsorption capacity of the material. Here the Cr(VI) removal efficiency was… Show more
