Method for adsorption and reduction of hexavalent chromium by using ferrous-saponite

摘要

The present invention relates to the development of an improved methodology for adsorption and subsequent reduction of hexavalent chromium aimed at the total removal of hexavalent chromium in water, which comprises, reacting dichromate solutions with natural ferrous-saponite clays at temperature 50 to 200° C. for the period of 1 to 3.0 hours.
