High-Efficiency Nanospheres from Watermelon Rinds for Enhanced Chromium(vi) Bioreduction in Simulated Wastewater and Industrial Effluents

Study’s Excerpt: • WMR-immobilised nanoparticles removed 90% Cr(VI) at 0.1 mg/ml in 40 min. • Optimal reduction occurred at 25 °C and pH 7.0. • Pseudo-second order kinetics best described the bioreduction process. • Thermodynamics showed process was exothermic, feasible, and spontaneous....
