This review article discusses the potential of plant-based biosorbents in removing Cr(VI) from water sources. The removal process can be achieved through adsorption and adsorption-coupled reduction mechanisms, and the biosorbents exhibit high adsorption capacities and regeneration potential.
Chromium is a toxic heavy metal prevalent in higher levels in aqueous matrices owing to industrial applications. Whilst being a key player in industries, the environmental issues caused by Cr(VI) are highly deleterious. Adsorptive remediation is found to be an effective method adopted by researchers in the past decades for Cr(VI) removal from water streams in which variety of naturally available biosorbents have been explored for handling Cr(VI). This review article briefly sketches up the biosorptive potential of plant-based biosorbents used in raw and chemically modified form for the optimum exclusion of Cr(VI) from aqueous sources. Mechanisms and kinetic behavior of the removal process are also discussed. pH of the solution and initial Cr(VI) concentration were found to be the key parameters in Cr removal. The mechanism of Cr removal from aqueous systems was elucidated to be either adsorption or adsorption-coupled-reduction. After precise discussion on various plantbased biosorbents with their maximum adsorption capacities, desorption and regeneration potential, it is perceived that plant-based biosorbents are superior options for Cr(VI) elimination from aqueous streams.
