Abstract
A method has been developed for the removal of chromium using ferrous sulphide generated in situ. The effects of experimental parameters suc h as pH, reagent dosages, interference from cations and chelating agen ts have been investigated. Under optimum conditions, removal efficienc ies of 99 and 97% for synthetic and industrial samples have been obtai ned. The method offers all the advantages of sulphide precipitation pr ocess and can be adopted easily for industrial effluents.
