Industrial lignins as efficient biosorbents for Cr(vi) water remediation: transforming a waste into an added value material
Summary
Researchers demonstrated that industrial lignins and lignin-based materials can effectively remove hexavalent chromium from water, transforming a paper industry byproduct into an efficient biosorbent for heavy metal remediation in a circular economy approach.
Effective Cr( vi ) water remediation can be obtained by using industrial lignins and lignin-based materials from a circular economy perspective.

Hexavalent Chromium Pollution and its Sustainable Management through Bioremediation
This review covers hexavalent chromium, a cancer-causing heavy metal pollutant that causes respiratory, reproductive, and cardiovascular diseases in humans. The paper focuses on using microorganisms to clean up chromium pollution as a cheaper and greener alternative to traditional methods. While primarily about heavy metals, it is relevant because microplastics in the environment can adsorb and transport chromium and other toxic metals.
Analysis of Response Surface and Artificial Neural Network for Cr(Ⅵ) Removal Column Experiment
Despite its title referencing chromium removal, this paper focuses on using nano zero-valent iron loaded onto cellulose filter paper to remove hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from contaminated water — not microplastics. It applies response surface methodology and artificial neural network modeling to optimize the process and is not relevant to microplastic pollution or human health.
