Simultaneous biosorption and bioreduction experienced by Cr(VI) species were initially validated by mixing 500 µM of Cr(VI) with 0.20 g of sawdust biosorbent. Accordingly, a complete disappearance of Cr(VI) species with emergence of 25 of Cr(III) ions was recorded; evidencing that both processes tra...
