Collagen fiber was used as a absorbent to removal hexavalent chromium from water. Effect of pH, temperature, absorbent dosage and initial concentration of Cr(VI) on its removal rate were examined in the batch mode. The results indicated that the modified collagen fiber was very effective for removal Cr(VI) from water. The removal of Cr(VI) increased with the decrease of solution pH value, and the maximum removal rate was attained at pH 3.0. The increase of absorbent dosage would raise the removal efficiency, while it would simultaneously reduce the absorption capacity. Moreover, the removal of Cr(VI) was found to decrease with the increasing of initial concentration of Cr(VI). Whereas, the Cr(VI) uptake capacity increased with the rise of Cr(VI) initial concentration until reaching saturation. The absorption equilibrium time was 6h and the optimum absorption temperature was 40℃. Results showed that the isotherm adsorption followed the isothermal adsorption model of Freundlich. The adsorption kinetics followed the mechanism of the pseudo-second-order equation. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analysis were employed to characterize CF, and further to elucidate the mechanism involved in the absorption process which included the electrostatic absorption and ion exchange power.
