Chromium (III) removal from aqueous solution by microbial waste from fermentation industry

Removal of chromium (III) from aqueous solution by microbial waste biomass (MB1) obtained as a byproduct of pharmaceutical fermentation industry was studied. In order to understand the sorption kinetic behaviour of chromium (III), a series of batch mode experiments were conducted at different pH values, adsorbent dosage and initial chromium concentration.
