Method for removing hexavalent chromium from water bodies by sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for removing hexavalent chromium from water bodies by sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron. The method comprising the steps: soaking zero-valent iron in a sodium oxalate solution for a period of time; and washing and drying to obtain the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron; and then treating water bodies with the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron to remove the heavy metal pollutant hexavalent chromium from the water bodies. Compared with other chemical or physical methods for treating the zero-valent iron, the processing technology of the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron is simple and easy to implement, and also has advantages of high efficiency, no pollution and environmental friendliness.
