Series　of　resin　selection　experiments　were　carried　out　and　the　KIP210　strong　base　anion　exchange　resin　was　confirmed　to　have　the　maximum　equilibrium　adsorption　capacity　to　remove　Cr(VI)　from　wastewater.　The　adsorption　thermodynamics　and　kinetics　of　Cr(VI)　on　KIP210　resin　were　investigated　completely　and　systematically.　The　static　experiments　were　performed　to　study　the　effects　of　various　parameters,　such　as　shaking　speed,　resin　dosage　and　pH　during　the　adsorption　process.　The　results　indicate　that　the　effect　of　external　diffusion　is　eliminated　at　160　rpm,　the　best　pH　value　is　3.0　and　the　removal　percentage　of　Cr(VI)　increases　with　the　increase　of　the　resin　dosage.　The　adsorption　of　Cr(VI)　on　KIP210　agrees　well　with　the　Langmuir　isotherm　and　the　adsorption　parameters　of　thermodynamics　are　Delta　H　=　26.5　kJ　mol(-1),　Delta　S　=　126.7　J　mol(-1)　K-1　and　Delta　G　＜　0.　It　demonstrates　that　the　adsorption　of　Cr(VI)　on　KIP210　is　a　spontaneously　endothermic　physisorption　process.　Moreover,　the　adsorption　process　can　be　described　well　by　a　pseudo-second-order　kinetic　model　and　the　activation　energy　is　30.9　kJ　mol(-1).　The　kinetic　analysis　showed　that　the　adsorption　rate　is　controlled　by　intraparticle　diffusion.　The　resin　is　successfully　regenerated　using　the　NaOH　solutions.　(C)　2013　The　Korean　Society　of　Industrial　and　Engineering　Chemistry.　Published　by　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
