Maximum Cr(VI) was sequestered from the solution within 140 min and the maximum removal of 5.0 mM Cr(VI) was about 68% at pH of 3.0 for 0.5 g RH. The removal of Cr(VI) was maximum (80.0%) when the initial pH of the solution was kept at 3.0. The Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of RH samples was calculated as 0.435 mmol/g at pH 3.0 from Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption kinetics data were evaluated with first-order reversible and pseudo-second-order kinetics models.en10.1080/19443994.2015.1085914info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRye huskAdsorptionKineticsChromium(VI)EquilibriumArticle57381774817756Q3WOS:000378619500012Q2
