“…Pollution causes a major impact on water quality by releasing both organic and inorganic pollutants. Inorganic pollutants such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium (Cr), copper, mercury, nickel, lead, and zinc are considered to be of environmental concern [1]. Industrial activities, particularly tannery and electroplating, have significantly released toxic Cr into water, air, and soil causing significant impact on environmental components [2,3].…”

The present study aims to remove chromium (Cr) from a synthetic solution using Ziziphus jujube seed (ZJS)‐activated biochar (ZJSAB) as an adsorbent. Physicochemical characterization was carried out to understand the properties of ZJSAB samples. Adsorption characteristics of ZJSAB were determined using batch experiments for various temperatures, pH, dosage, concentration, and duration. The study reveals ZJSAB has 93 % efficiency in the removal of Cr for an initial concentration of 60 mg L−1 at 30 °C and 2 pH with 0.6 g L−1 dosage and 120 min duration. Freundlich isotherm and pseudo‐second‐order models were best fit with maximum removal efficiency for ZJSAB. When 0.3 N hydrochloric acid was introduced to a desorption study, Cr desorption was 93.47 %. The study reveals that activated biochar from ZJS was efficient for Cr removal from aqueous solutions.

“…(Giripunje et al , 2015). In contrast, phytoremediation is an area of active research, where plants and soil microbes are used to reduce the levels of contaminants and their toxicity effect (Prathap et al , 2019). The phytoremediation seems environment‐friendly and ecologically responsible with good public acceptance; however, the research is still in progress to screen native plants for the phytoremediation of target heavy metals (Xu et al , 2019).…”

Bipolar electrocoagulation with aluminum sacrificial electrodes was designed to simultaneously remove Cr(VI), phosphorus, chemical oxygen demand and turbidity from both tanning, domestic and industrial wastewater. The experimental setup was demonstrated in a semi-industrial scale for the remediation of effluents released from Fez city (Morocco), which exhibited highly variable composition and pH. The results showed that the elimination levels are enhancing with increasing of the energy consumption and electrode amount. The optimum conditions of the electrocoagulation process to reduce the pollutants in over 90% were identified at a current density of 5 mA cm-2 that takes around 10 to 30 min at neutral pH. Thus, the proposed method could be considered as an effective approach in the conventional treatment of wastewater from artisanal activities.
