Accordingly, a complete disappearance of Cr(VI) species with emergence of 25 of Cr(III) ions was recorded; evidencing that both processes transpired simultaneously. An increase in the initial Cr(VI) concentration to 1500 µM could further induce more reduced Cr(VI) concentration. The enhancement of Cr(VI) biosorption and bioreduction was found to occur upon increasing the sawdust dosage to 4 g L�1 and decreasing the solution pH to 2. However, the presence of a Zn(II) co-pollutant at 2500 µM had deteriorated the removal of Cr(VI) species. © 2017 Taylor & Francis. date: 2017 publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85018699820&doi=10.1080%2f01496395.2017.1296868&partnerID=40&md5=87046f4ae562babb0656f6d3a2d30d1a id_number: 10.1080/01496395.2017.1296868 full_text_status: none publication: Separation Science and Technology (Philadelphia) volume: 52 number: 10 pagerange: 1707-1716 refereed: TRUE issn: 01496395 citation: Ng, Z.G. and Lim, J.W. and Isa, M.H. and Pasupuleti, V.R. and Yunus, N.M. and Lee, K.C.
