Abstract: Four types of common seaweeds (Laminaria japonica, Undaria pinnatifida, Porphyra haitanensis, and Gracilaria lemaneiformis) were examined to remove Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution. The experimental parameters that affected the biosorption process including pH, biomass dosage, contact time and temperature were investigated via batch experiments. The surface characteristics of seaweeds before and after Cr(VI) adsorption were studied with scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that an initial solution with the pH of 1.0 is most favorable for Cr(VI) adsorption. Rapid adsorption is observed in the initial stage and adsorption equilibrium state is reached within 1 h. The adsorption efficiency by Porphyra haitanensis is the maximum among four types of seaweed powders, followed by Laminaria japonica and Undaria pinnatifida with biosorption efficiency up to 90%. The removal rate of Gracilaria lemaneiformis is less than 60%. The kinetic data obtained using the seaweeds are found to follow pseudo-second order kinetic model. Experimental sorption data adequately correlate with the Langmuir model. FTIR indicates that amino and carboxyl groups play an important role in the process of Cr(VI) adsorption and a large percentage of Cr(VI) ions are reduced by reductive groups on the surface of seaweeds.
