Reduction of Hexavalent Chromium Using Sorbaria sorbifolia Aqueous Leaf Extract

Reduction of Hexavalent Chromium Using Sorbaria sorbifolia Aqueous Leaf Extract

Aqueous plant leaves extract (PLE) of an abundant shrub, Sorbaria sorbifolia, was explored for the reduction of hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), to trivalent chromium, Cr(III). The effect of contact time, pH, PLE quantity, ionic strength, hardness, temperature and effective initial Cr(VI) ion concentrat...
