Biosorption of hexavalent chromium using nanche (Byrsonima crassifolia L.) by-product

Renewable energy, biomass & sustainability, 2020
Water contamination by heavy metals is generally caused by anthropic activities, with industry being the main source of contamination. The tannery is one of them, since it uses hexavalent chromium salts [Cr (VI)] in the process, and when its effluents are poorly treated, they irremediably damage water bodies and their consumption can have negative ...
