摘要：

The aim of this work was to create a biocomposite which coupled the reducing capability of iron nanopartides with the adsorption capacity of cellulose to effectively remove hexavalent chromium from industrial wastewater. The iron nanoparticles were synthesized on the orange peel pith using a simple redox precipitation reaction to ensure the biocomposite was inexpensive and easy to produce. The nanoparticles were characterized for size, composition, oxidation state, and distribution before and after the Cr(VI) exposure. The nanoparticles were mostly 20 x 80 nm tubular shapes, but there were also some octahedral crystals around 20-40 nm. The biocomposite with the nanoparticles exhibited twice the Cr(VI) removal of the unmodified orange peel pith and also possesses over twice the adsorption capacity -5.37 mg/g vs. 1.90 mg/g.
