In this investigation, bentonite clay (BC) and bentonite clay@MnFe2O4 composite (BCMFC) were applied as efficient adsorbents for adsorbing Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions from aqueous media. Different analyses such as FTIR, SEM, EDX, Map, BET, and XRD were used to characterize the adsorbents. The results showed that the removal efficiency of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) using BC were found to be 95.21 and 95.74%, while the corresponding values to the BCMFC were 97.37 and 98.65%, respectively. Also, the equilibrium and kinetic studies showed that the Freundlich isotherm model and the quasi-second-order kinetic model could better describe the equilibrium and kinetic behaviors of the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of the BC for the adsorption of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions were evaluated as 151.5 mg/g (25oC, pH 6, 90 min, and 1 g/L) and 161.3 mg/g (25oC, pH 3, 90 min, and 1 g/L), respectively, while the BCMFC showed the maximum capacities of 175.4 mg/g (25oC, pH 6, 60 min, and 1.5 g/L) and 178.6 mg/g (25oC, pH 3, 60 min, and 1.5 g/L) for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions, respectively, which were remarkable amounts. In addition, the thermodynamic study indicated that the adsorption process was physical, spontaneous, and exothermic. High removal efficiency, high chromium adsorption capacity, and low-cost magnetic adsorbent were significant features of the BCMFC for removal of Cr (III) and Cr (VI).
