“…In aquatic environments, chromium exists in hexavalent (Cr(VI)) and trivalent (Cr(III)) forms, of which hexavalent form is more toxic than the trivalent one, and is known to be human carcinogen [5]. Different techniques have been reported for the treatments of Cr (VI), such as ion exchange [6], membrane separation [7], physical and biological adsorption [8][9][10], and electrocoagulation [11,12]. However, most of these techniques have several limitations and drawbacks, and they require either high energy or massive use of reducing agents.…”
