Abstract

This work demonstrates that Fe⁰ nanowires modified with chitosan embedded in porous anodic alumina are good adsorbents for the removal of Cr⁶⁺ ions from water. Results show that the adsorption capacity can reach 113.2 mg g⁻¹, moreover, most of the toxic Cr⁶⁺ ions transform into nontoxic Cr³⁺ ions after adsorption.
