摘要: Cr(VI) generated due to natural oxidation of chromite mineral present in mine overburden (COB) dumps Sukinda, India, has been characterized by different physico-chemical methods. The was found be associated with goethite matrix at a contamination level 500 mg Cr(VI)kg(-1) COB. Bacillus sp. isolated from the sample exhibiting high tolerance hexavalent chromium, used for remediation overburden. process optimized while varying parameters such as pH (2-9), pulp density (10-60%) and temperature (25-40 °C). Optimal reduction more than 98% COB achieved 16 h pH∼7.0 60% (4.05 × 10(7)cells mL(-1)) absence media. exponential rate equation yielded constant value 2.14 10(-1)h(-1) density. mode bio-reduction established FT-IR, XRD, EPMA SEM-EDS studies.
