Abstract
Chromium(VI) [Cr(VI)] is adsorbed as HCrO − 4 on iron(III) hydroxide at pH below 8.5. The Cr(VI) adsorption is suppressed by the presence of other anions such as SO 2− 4 and SCN −, and enhanced by the presence of metal ions such as Cd(II) and Pb(II). The suppression is due to the competitive adsorption of other anions, depending upon the stability of their iron complexes. The enhancement is probably due to the increase in adsorption sites as a result of coprecipitation of metal ion with iron(III) hydroxide.
