Adsorption Removal of Mo(VI) from an Aqueous Solution by Alumina with the Subsequent Regeneration of the Adsorbent.

Industrial wastewater is the main source of an excessive amount of molybdenum (Mo) in natural ecosystems. It is necessary to remove Mo from wastewater before it is discharged into the environment. Molybdate ion(VI) is the most common form of Mo in natural reservoirs and industrial wastewater.
