Abstract  

Attempt has been made to develop methodologies for preconcentration of chromium in the biodegradable polymer beads. The uptake behaviors for chromium have been studied with Ca-alginate (CA) and Fe-doped calcium alginate (Fe-CA) beads. The work also aims to study the differential attitude of CA and Fe-CA towards Cr(III) and Cr(VI) so that, depending on the oxidation state of chromium effluent, environmentally sustainable methodologies can be prescribed for removal of chromium. Radiotracer 51Cr has been chosen as precursor of stable chromium throughout the experiment. It was found that Fe-CA beads are suitable for removal of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) while CA beads can be used for the speciation and separation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) at pH 5.
