The ability of untreated local rubber wood sawdust (RWS) to remove Cr(VI) was carried out under a bench-scale shaking condition by varying parameters such as initial Cr(VI) concentrations, adsorbent dosage, pH, temperature and eluting agent. Complete Cr(VI) removal was achieved at pH less than 2, in...
