The present study focuson the adsorption of hexavalent chromium with Sargassum myriocystum, algae and the outcomes of various parameters such as size of sorbent, contact time, temperature, sorbent dosage and agitating speed were enhanced with aid of response surface methodology. The maximum adsorption of hexavalent chromium in its optimized conditions were determined as solution temperature of 35oC, size of sorbent for 0.5284 mm 36 BSS mesh ,contact time (1 hour), agitating speed (50 rpm) and sorbent dosage (4.309 g).The utmost removal was 99% . Isotherm studies revealed that Langmuir model is fitting the algae with a hexavalent chromium uptake of 61.5384mg/g. Thermodynamic study revealed that it is endothermic in nature and values of Gibb’s free energy, enthalpy and entropy change are in accordance. The sorbents were characterized with FTIR and SEM. FTIR studies revealed the presence of a few functional groups like carboxylic acid, amino and hydroxyl in hexavalent chromium adsorption. Pseudo I order kinetics are in accordance for this process. From above studies it can be concluded that Sargassum myriocystum had good removal capacity for hexavalent chromium from fabricated solutions.
