“…There are several accepted methods for removing Cr(VI), which typically exists as highly soluble and toxic chromate anions (HCrO 4 – or Cr 2 O 7 2– ), from industrial wastewater: photocatalytic reduction, ,− chemical precipitation, electrokinetic remediation, membrane filtration, , and adsorption. − Among these methods, adsorption is especially appealing, as it is very effective at removing Cr(VI) . The adsorption process requires a solid surface (i.e., an adsorbent) with a large surface area for the species to be adsorbed (i.e., an adsorbate) to attach to, either by physical or chemical processes, for which in here, the use of a nanosized material will be beneficial for providing the surface area.…”
