A one-pot synthesis is described to construct a composite of the amino-derivative Zr carboxylate metal–organic framework and silica gel (UiO-66-NH2@silica) as an efficient solid sorbent for hexavalent chromium.

Phoenix sylvestris seed powder (PSSP) was investigated as an adsorbent for the removal of chromium(VI) ions from water using batch extraction method. The conditions for the maximum extraction were optimized. The adsorption capacity was found to be 22.5 mg/g at pH= 2, contact time: 60 min, PSSP dosage: 0.40 g/500mL, rpm: 300 and temp.: 28 ± 2 ºC and found to be more suitable adsorbant than compared to other reported adsorbents in the literature. Co-ions even in five-fold excess were less interfered. Regeneration studies revealed that Phoenix sylvestris seed powder can be used up to three cycles. The method developed was successfully applied to polluted water/industrial effluents samples.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of activated carbons prepared from Macadamia nutshells as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from aqueous solutions. The activated carbon was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), CHNS analyzer and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). For effective removal of Cr(VI), the optimum parameters found were pH 2, 120 min of contact time and 0.2 g of sorbent. The adsorption data fitted well into the Freundlich model, suggesting a multilayer sorption process. The results demonstrated that Macadamia activated carbon could be used as cost-effective biosorbent for the treatment of aqueous solutions contaminated by Cr(VI) with an adsorption capacity of 22.3 mg g−1. The mode of removal involved adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III).
