Abstract
The sorption capability of raw and thermally treated dolomite samples with respect to toxic ions was estimated through the adsorption of chromium(VI) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption isotherms were shown to fit the well-known Freundlich equation. The results confirm the weak adsorption of chromium(VI) on raw dolomite relative to the other dolomite-derived sorbents. The influence of ionic strength on the adsorption was also determined.
