Abstract
Four organic wastes were tested as potential adsorbents for hexavalent chromium. The results showed that this type of material could certain ly be considered for this purpose with the best results being achieved at pH values of 1.5-3.0. The results also showed that cellulosic mate rials which had been subjected to some degree of anaerobic biodegradat ion were better adsorbents than fresh cellulosic material.
