Abstract We report on the role of ester bonds in the enhanced removal of hexavalent chromium from water using cotton fibers coated with chitosan. Adsorption capacities up to five times higher than those of the unmodified fibers were observed when the cotton fibers were exposed to an NaOH, followed by citric acid (0.97 M), and a chitosan solution (2%). We found that the use of NaOH favors the formation of ester bonds over amide bonds on the surface of the cotton fibers. This increase in the surface density of ester bonds generates an increase in the amount of exposed amino groups from the chitosan, hence increasing the removal capacity of the modified fibers. Experimental results also reveal that the adsorption is induced by the electrostatic attraction between the protonated amino groups on the surface and the negatively charged chromium ions in the water. Adsorption isotherms and kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption process fits the Langmuir and the Freundlich isotherm models as well as the pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetic models. These results can open a new avenue for the manufacturing of fibers with enhanced removal capacities for hexavalent chromium.

This paper describes wastewater treatment optimization studies performed on an industrial wastewater generated in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The manufacturing plant generates hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] wastewater as a result of chromating brass, bronze and copper parts produced in the manufacturing operations. The facility utilizes a continuous flow treatment train, involving segregated Cr(VI) reduction with sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5) under acidic conditions, followed by combined wastestream two-stage pH adjustment, metals precipitation, and clarification before discharge to the municipal sewer. The objectives of the studies were to define and evaluate critical parameters, such as pH and oxidation reduction potential (ORP) for hexavalent and total chromium control and to perform treatability studies to optimize the performance of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The treatability studies included Cr(VI) reduction versus Na2S2O5 dosage evaluations and corresponding chromium reduction kinetic studies, and trivalent chromium hydroxide precipitation. The Cr(VI) reduction experiments and chromic hydroxide precipitation studies were performed for three different wastewaters collected from within the manufacturing process; a high, typical, and dilute strength wastewater.

Photoelectrochemical chromium ion oxidation from the trivalent to the hexavalent state has been demonstrated by using WO3nanosponge photoanodes in sulfuric acid electrolytes under simulated sunlight.
