英文摘要：

Chromium is one of major pollutants strictly controlled in water and wastewater treatments. Adsorption has been considered as an effective technology for its advantages over other methods, such as low cost, high efficiency and simple operation. In this review, promising adsorbents are focused on including minerals, metal oxides, hydrotalcite, activated carbon, carbon nanotubes and resin. Research situation and the latest developments of chromium adsorption are described in detail. Structures, performances and chromium removal mechanisms of various adsorbents are systematically discussed. The engineering application methods and characteristics of different adsorbents are also analyzed. Future development trend of adsorption technology is finally proposed.
