Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 89, 7, 1238-1243.0036-02441531-863Xhttps://dx.doi.org/10.1134/S0036024415070055https://hdl.handle.net/11492/3001WOS:000357728900021Removal of chromium from wastewaters has been studied and the optimal process conditions were determined. The reverse osmosis (RO) technique, the sea water high rejection (SWHR) and high rejection brackish water (AG, SE, and SG) membranes were used. The chromium rejection depended on membrane type, pH of the feed water and operating pressure. The removal of chromium was most effective when the feed water pH 3. The rejection efficiency of the membranes increased in the order AG > SWHR > SG > SE. RO method can be efficiently used (with > 91% rejection) for the removal of chromium from wastewater of chromium coating processes.enChromium RemovalHeavy MetalsMembraneReverse OsmosisArticle89712381243info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessscopusidyokWOS:00035772890002110.1134/S0036024415070055Q4
