Althought have been done important progresses in developing countries in environment management field, heavy metals remain an important threat for human health and environment components. Unlike other pollutants classes, which can be biodegradable or completely destroyed, metals are not biodegradable and none of metals can not be destroyed. However, metals can be transformed into more toxic forms or more stable complex forms which can be more or less toxic. In this paper, was studied the removal of hexavalent chromium from waste water using solid waste (charcoal made from nutshells, furnace ash). The authors studied the influence of the following parameters: the initial pH of solution, the contact time on the sorption capacity. The adsorbent efficiency to the chromium removal was also studied using chromium-plating wastewater.

Using hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] and methylene blue (MB) as model substrates, we discuss three aspects of TiO2-based heterogeneous photocatalysis. We show first that a given TiO2 sample may not be simultaneously optimal for photocatalytically driving the reduction of Cr(VI) and the oxidation of MB. We further show that a TiO2 sample that strongly adsorbs either of these substrates in the dark is not optimal as a photocatalyst. The other two aspects concern circumventing the rather poor surface catalytic properties and visible light photoresponse of TiO2, respectively. Strategies revolving around the visible light photoexcitation of the substrate itself and metal-modification of the TiO2 surface, are described as possible solutions.
