Chromium (Cr) is a potentially toxic heavy metal which does not have any essential
metabolic function in plants. Various past and recent studies highlight the biogeochemistry …

Abstract Hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) in water is a proven carcinogen to different internal
and external organs of the living organisms. There are different human activities …

Biosorption was carried out in this study using the biomass of microalgae Scenedesmus sp.
as adsorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium or Cr (VI) from solution. Different …

Chromium (Cr) is most widely used heavy metal with vast applications in industrial sectors
such as metallurgy, automobile, leather, electroplating, etc. Subsequently, these industries …

Microorganisms perform an important function in the bioremediation of contaminated soils,
water and effluents. Bacteria, fungi, yeasts and microalgae and cyanobacteria, are low-cost …

Heavy metal (HM) pollution has become a serious global problem due to the non-
biodegradable nature of the HMs and their persistence in the environment. Agricultural soil …

Highly efficient elimination of anionic chromate remains a critical task from the biological and
ecological perspective owing to their carcinogenic effects on the biosphere and ecosphere …

The objective of the present work was to establish optimal biological and physicochemical
parameters in order to remove simultaneously lindane and Cr (VI) at high and/or low …

In the present study, novel adsorbents having high adsorption capability and reusability
were prepared using agricultural by-products: silk sericin and lignin. Silk sericin and lignin …

A synergistic solvent extraction method for recovering chromium (III) was proposed using the
mixed extractant consisting of di (2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and isooctanol …
