Solution to Cr(III & VI) pollution: Adsorption of Cr through environment friendly biosorbents

Toxic heavy metals in air, soil, and water are global problems that are a growing threat to the environment. The waters containing chromium (Cr) mainly from industries enter into the sewers, municipal treatment plant, streams and lakes that are used for irrigation purposes.Chromium water pollution is not regarded one of the main and most severe environmental problems, although discharging chromium polluted untreated wastewater in rivers has caused environmental disasters in the past. The present work was designed to eliminate the chromium metal through environment friendly biosorbents, from the aqueous solution. This book is mainly helpful for the plant pathologists, environmentalists and chemical engineers.
