| description | Proper water resource management is a critical global objective, both privately and in business, due to the continuous deterioration of this valuable resource. Scientific research in environmental sciences has made significant progress in the development and achievements of treatment. The use of transformed <i>E. crassipes</i> biomass with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) can help to achieve this important goal. The objective of this study was to develop an experimental process for the continuous adsorption and elution of chromium (VI) using fixed-bed columns of <i>E. crassipes</i> biomass modified with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). Additionally, design tools were created, and economic viability was assessed by analyzing adsorption capacity indicators and unit production costs of different biomasses. Treatment systems were designed and constructed to remove chromium from tannery wastewater, ensuring that the levels were below the current environmental regulations of 0.05 mg/L Cr(VI). The biomass had an adsorption capacity of 98 mg/g and was produced at a low cost of 8.5 dollars. This resulted in an indicator of 11.5 g Cr(VI)/(USD) when combined with the elution processes. The proposed strategy, which utilizes entirely green technologies, enables the recovery and valorization of water resources. This makes it an effective tool for the circular economy. |
