Abstract: The adsorption behaviors of Cr6+ by in situ immobilized larch tannin were investigated. It was found that the adsorption is characterized by redox adsorption, that is, Cr6+ is first reduced into Cr3+ and then adsorbed. The adsorption capacity of this adsorbent to Cr6+ was 183.6 mg/g at 303 K when initial concentration of Cr6+ was 297.3 mg/L and pH value was 2.0, and the adsorption capacity was increased with the increase of temperature. The optimal pH value for the adsorption of Cr6+ was 2.0 because the reduction of Cr6+ is accelerated under acidic condition. The adsorption isotherm of Cr6+ by in situ immobilized larch tannin can be described by the Freundlich equation. The data of adsorption rate can be well fitted by the pseudo-second-order rate model. The breakthrough point of Cr6+ in adsorption column was around 120 bed volumes when the inlet concentration of Cr6+was 232.4 mg/L.
