The study was aimed at investigating the efficacy of chitin immobilized Mucor racemosus sorbent (CIMRS) sorbent, impregnated in the modified rotating disc contactor (MRDC) blades for the sorption of chromium(VI) contained in the electroplating effluent. The optimum time, pH, temperature and CIMRS dosage were found to be 8 h, 7.0, 323 K and 0.7 g/150 mL, respectively, for MRDC sorption studies. Desorption studies were also carried out in MRDC at 60 °C. Seven isotherms were applied to model the experimental data. The present study reveals highly promising nature of CIMRS for Cr(VI) sorption from electroplating effluent.
