Batch and continuous flow studies of adsorptive removal of Cr(VI) by adapted bacterial consortia immobilized in alginate beads

- Biosorption of Cr(VI) using adapted bacterial consortia immobilized in alginate beads.
- Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second order rate kinetics describe batch sorption.
- Very high adsorption capacity [657 mg/g] in column reactor.
- Mechanism analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared, Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
