“…It is urgent to develop various methodologies for elimination of Cr(VI) from water bodies. Various methodologies such as adsorption ( Ali and Gupta, 2006 ; Maponya et al, 2020 ), membrane filtration ( Kaya et al, 2016 ), solvent extraction ( Venkateswaran and Palanivelu, 2004 ), electrochemical precipitation ( Sun et al, 2015 ), coagulation ( Golbaz et al, 2014 ), bioremediation ( Beller et al, 2013 ; Benazir et al, 2010 ), ion exchange ( Xiao et al, 2016 ) and catalytic reduction ( Saikia et al, 2017 ) in addition to some traditional strategies ( Barrera-Díaz et al, 2012 ; Malaviya and Singh, 2011 ) based on reduction followed by precipitation have been employed for removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous medium. Although adsorption technology is an in-expensive and green methodology and does not involve formation of any side products.…”
