Mechanism of chromium adsorption by the persimmon tannin (PT) gel was examined. The PT gel can adsorb Cr highly effectively from aqueous solutions containing Cr(VI), while it adsorbed far smaller amounts of Cr from the solution containing Cr(III). The maximum Cr adsorption from the Cr(VI) solution occurred at pH 3. The Cr adsorption from the Cr(VI) solution by the PT gel was rapid, was faster than VO2+ and Fe3+ adsorptions, and was obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm (Qe= 5.27 mmol g(-1) and K= 16.2 mM). The gel adsorbed Cr from the Cr(VI) solution (pH 1 and 3) showed no ESR signal of Cr(III), while the ESR signal of Cr(III) was observed in the residual solution at pH 1. Hexavalent chromium was, therefore, adsorbed on the PT gel through the esterification of chromate with catechol group. In other words, Cr(VI) should combine with catechol as a hard acid, CrO2(2+) cation. Through the treatment of a Cr(VI) solution with the PT gel, chromium should be recovered as a Cr(IV)-tannin complex at pH 3 or a Cr(III) solution at pH 1 or lower pH region.
