Biosorption is a very common method to remove toxic Cr(VI) from industrial waste water. In biosorption Cr(VI) is reduced to less toxic Cr(III) and adsorbed in biosorbent as Cr(III). Effective biosorbents contain hydroxy groups;it may be aliphatic or aromatic. Kinetics of reduction of Cr(VI) by an aromatic alcohol, benzyl alcohol, (which is an important volatile component of flowers of some night blooming plants) in micellar media have been studied spectrophotometrically. Micellar media is a probe to establish the mechanistic paths of reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). Effects of electrolytes are studied to support the proposed reaction mechanism. Suitable surfactant & suitable concentration of electrolyte enhance the biosorption property.展开更多

It is a wide spread environmental contaminant as it is extensively used in different industry. The kinetic study of reduction of Cr(VI) by a known organic substance, 1-butanol in micellar media have been studied spectrophotometrically. The reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) occurs in a micro- heterogeneous system in cell cytoplasm. As micelles are considered to mimic the cellular membranes, the reduction process occurring in the micellar system is considered as a model to obtain insight in to the reduction process prevailing in body systems. Micellar media is also a probe to establish the mechanistic paths of reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and the effects of some electrolytes common to a biological systems are studied to establish the proposed reaction mechanism strongly. The overall reaction follows a first order dependency on substrate and hexavalent chromium and second order dependency on hydrogen ion. Suitable surfactant &suitable concentration of electrolyte enhance the rate of the reaction.展开更多
