The Creation

Chromium occurs in nature mainly in its trivalent or hexavalent form. Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) is particularly toxic to humans, animals, and plants. The extensive pollution of groundwaters with Cr(VI) necessitates the complete understanding of natural chromium oxidation and reduction mechanisms, both for assessing the risk of hexavalent chromium formation and for the development of techniques for the reduction and removal of Cr(VI) from contaminated water bodies. In this work, the possibility of hexavalent chromium reduction by discarded or low-cost materials, which contain reducing compounds, is investigated regarding the creation of a compact, pump-and-treat filter for Cr(VI) removal from groundwater.

A bacterial strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from an uncontaminated soil has been used for the removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)). The experiments were carried out in batch system in a culture broth. The results obtained have shown that 100% of Cr (VI) are removed. Contact time, initial concentration of the hexavalent chromium, temperature, as well as the nature of the culture broth have influenced this elimination. To the initial concentration of 20g/L of Cr (VI) the elimination rates are lower, while the reverse occurs for an initial concentration of 8g/L. This study allows considering the use of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the treatment of water polluted by toxic heavy metals such as Cr (VI).
