Abstract
Water contamination by chromium species is a serious
environmental and health issue, making its removal
from water sources a top priority. Adsorption is a wellestablished method for heavy metal removal, with
biosorbents emerging as an eco-friendly and costeffective alternative to synthetic adsorbents. In this
study, water hyacinth (WH) powder extracted from
live plants was explored as a natural biosorbent for
removing Cr(III) from synthetic contaminated water.
