The effluent discharge treatment for controlling the environment from non biodegradable metal contaminants using plant extract is an efficient technique. The reduction of hexavalent chromium by abundantly available weed, Aerva Ianata L. was investigated using batch equilibrium technique. The variables studied were Cr(VI) concentration, Aerva lanata L dose, contact time, pH, temperature and agitation speed. Cyclic voltammetry and ICP-MS analysis confirmed the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). Electrochemical analysis proved that, the chromium has not been degraded and the valency of the chromium has only been changed. ICP-MS analysis shows that 100 ng/L of hexavalent chromium was reduced to 97.01 ng/L trivalent chromium. These results suggest that components present in the Aerva lanata L. are responsible for the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The prime components ferulic acid, kaempherol and beta-carboline present in the Aerva lanata L may be responsible for the reduction of Cr(VI) as evident from LC-MS analysis. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
