With the rapid development of highland railways in China, a large amount of heavy metal wastewater was inevitably generated during the manufacturing process of alloy materials required for railway construction. In this paper, pyrolysis of municipal sludge was followed by ball milling to obtain ball milling sludge-derived biochar (SDBC), and then nZVI-loaded SDBC materials (nZVI@SDBC) were prepared by liquid-phase reduction. The effects of different factors on the Cr(VI) removal were investigated. The maximum Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of nZVI@SDBC(2:1) was 178.05 mg/g. The Cr(VI) removal process could be fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Cr(VI) removal mechanism mainly included complexation, reduction, electrostatic interaction, and coprecipitation. The Cr(VI) removal by nZVI@SDBC(2:1) was maintained at over 90% after five replicate experiments. nZVI@SDBC(2:1) was capable of removing most of the Cr(VI) from real electroplating wastewater. The cost of using nZVI@SDBC(2:1) to remove 1 m of actual wastewater is approximately 325.7162 USD/m. This work provided a new idea for the solution of Cr(VI)-containing wastewater from the production of railway materials.

In this work, bimetallic organic frameworks NH-MOFs(Fe, Ti) with different Fe/Ti molar ratios were prepared by a hydrothermal method for the synchronous redox transformation of Cr(VI) and As(III). These results showed that NH-MIL-125(Ti) was less effective in the photocatalytic removal of Cr(VI), whereas NH-MIL-88B(Fe) was less effective in the photocatalytic oxidative removal of As(III). Due to the introduction of Fe, the photocatalytic reduction removal of Cr(VI) (23.

Surfactant-modified biochar is a viable adsorbent for eliminating Cr(VI) from synthetic wastewater. The biochar obtained from the zea mays plant (BC) was tailored with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an anionic surfactant forming SDS-BC adsorbent. Different controlling conditions have been evaluated including pH of the solution, biomass concentration, primary Cr(VI) concentration, time of adsorption, and temperature.

The fabrication of dual-quantum dot heterostructures offers a promising strategy to enhance the environmental remediation performance of photocatalysts. Herein, a BiWO-based Z-scheme heterojunction was constructed by incorporating carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) and CdS quantum dots (QDs) via a microwave-assisted solvothermal method. The 1 wt% CPDs/CdS QDs/BiWO (CCBW-1) composite achieved optimal Cr(VI) removal, reaching 97.

This study focuses on the synthesis of a novel Cerium-Magnesium (CeO-MgO) binary oxide nanomaterials by a simple co-precipitation process and used to remove harmful pollutants such as Cr(VI), Cu(II), and F. The morphology, phase, crystallite size, thermal stability, functional groups, surface area, and porosity of the synthesized nanomaterial were determined by using XRD, SEM, FTIR, TGA/DTA, and BET studies. The prepared nanomaterials showed adsorption selectivity of Cu(II) ≈ F> Cr(VI) with a high adsorption capacity of 84.

The introduction of structural defects can improve the charge separation efficiency of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based photocatalysts, which however come with suboptimal decontamination performance, due to steric hindrance and limited binding capacity of the involved modulators. In this work, hydroxyl group capturing the advantages of both worlds was utilized as new modulator to improve the photocatalytic performance of Fe-based defective MOFs. Benefited from its low steric effect and strong coordination bonding capability, hydroxyl-induced defects in Fe-MOF contributed to a nearly 8-fold increase of rate constant for the photocatalytic removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) compared to that of pristine one, which also exceeded the defective one induced by acetic acid as modulator.
