Six-valent chromium ($Cr^{6+}$) is a highly toxic pollutant, supplied in a variety of industrial activities such as leather tanning, cooling tower blowdown, and plating. Herein, we investigated the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ from aqueous phase using low-cost adsorbents. Steel slag, montmorillonite, illite, kaolinite, red mud, and acid treated red mud with 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 M HCl were used as adsorbent for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ and the results showed that acid treated red mud with 2.0 M HCl (ATRM-2.0 M) had higher adsorption capacity of $Cr^{6+}$ than other adsorbents used. Accordingly, $Cr^{6+}$ removal by ATRM-2.0 M were studied in a batch system with respect to changes in initial concentration of $Cr^{6+}$, initial solution pH, adsorbent dose, adsorbent mixture, and seawater. Equilibrium sorption data were described well by Freundlich isotherm model. The influence of initial solution pH on $Cr^{6+}$ adsorption was insignificant. The use of the ATRM-2.0 M alone was more effective than mixing it with other adsorbents including red mud, zeolite, oyster shell, lime stone, and montmorillonite for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$. The $Cr^{6+}$ removal of the ATRM-2.0 M was slightly less in seawater than deionized water, resulting from the presence of anions in seawater competing for the favorable adsorption site on the surface of ATRM-2.0 M. It was concluded that the ATRM-2.0 M can be used as a potential adsorbent for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ from the aqueous solutions.

6가 크롬의 크로메이트 코팅제의 대체를 위한 3가 크롬의 크로메이트 코팅용액의 제조에 관한 것이다. 본 연구에서 제안된 코팅제는 3가 크롬원으로서 $KCr(SO_4)_2$를 35~45 g/L, 인산계 화합물로서 $NaH_2PO_4$를 20~30 g/L을 주성분으로 하고 여기에 금속계 황산화물로서 $CoSO_4$ 10~20 g/L, $ZnSO_4$ 10~20 g/L의 조성으로 구성된 것이다. 이 제안된 3가 크롬 코팅용액을 사용하여 pH 2.0~2.2, 상온에서 담지시간 20~25 s의 조건하에 시안아연도금체에 코팅된 피막은 염수분무시험결과 5% 백청발생까지 120 h 이상 견디는 우수한 내식성을 발현하였다.
