Abstract
Not only Cr(VI) is very toxic, but also it is a major pollutant in soil and groundwater. Thus Cr(VI)-containing wastewater must be treated before being discharged into the environments. Recently, biosorption technology using abundant biomass has been considered as an innovative one for removing Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. In this review article, current research and future works on Cr(VI) biosorption were widely described. Particularly, the removal mechanism of Cr(VI) by biomass was described in detail, which has been misunderstood by many researchers until now.
