| Abstract | ||
| Chromium is a natural metal, commonly found in wastewaters, which is originated from several industrial processes such as electroplating industries, military purposes, textile dyeing, paint, leather tanneries, and pigment industries as critical industry materials. Chromium possesses two oxidation states Cr(VI) and Cr(III). Cr(VI) is highly toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic to most of the living organisms when its concentration level is higher than 0.05 ppm, and extremely mobile than Cr(III). Therefore, there is a great importance to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solution, to prevent the deleterious impact of the Cr(VI) on the human health. This paper propose a method that aims to remove Cr(VI) from water by campsite nanofiber. | ||
