The present study investigates a comparative study of the sorption of Cr3+ and Cr6+ from water using an agricultural by-product; mango peels in batch system under the effect of initial metal ion concentrations, solution pH, temperature, sorbent dose and contact time. Characterization of the mango peels was done before and after sorption of Cr3+ and Cr6+ using scanning electron microscopy, surface area pore size analyzer and FTIR spectroscopy. The pH study revealed that that maximum removal of Cr3+ and Cr6+ was obtained at pH 5.0 and 7.0 respectively. Among various kinetic models, pseudo-2nd order well explained the data owing to the higher values of (R)2 and the nearness between the values of experimental and calculated sorption capacities. The isotherms study revealed that Freundlich is the suitable isotherm for explanation of the equilibrium data due to higher R-2 values. The monolayer sorption capacity of mango peels was found to be 98.039 mg g(-1) for Cr3+ and 66.666 mg g(-1) for Cr6+. The spontaneity and exothermic nature of the sorption process of Cr3+ and Cr6+ using mango peels was reflected from thermodynamic study.
