Abstract
Chromium is one of the elements that can be found in wastewater from a wide variety of industrial processes. Its toxicity depends on the state of oxidation and concentration in which it is found, being of great importance the elimination of hexavalent chromium present in aqueous systems such as wastewater from the tannery industry, chrome plating etc., for its recognized carcinogenic character. (1) The proposal of this work consists of characterizing the biomaterial (Pepper Dioica L. Merrill), in its different stages of adsorption of Cr(VI),that is, tests were carried out before and after being in contact with solution of this metal. This in order to be able to recognize as a method of removing Cr(VI) the Contact Technique type Batch. It was possible to achieve the characterization by means of cyclic Voltammetry, obtaining particular signals, to which the Cr(VI) signal is assumed.
