Chromium (VI) is one of the heavy metals in water and wastewater that has the most toxic characteristic. Consequently, it is dangerous for human and environmental health. Various methods are used for removal of the chromium from wastewater, and new methods have been developed in recent years. Recent studies and investigations on the removal of environmental pollution selected methods that were economical, of optimum efficiently and could be carried out easily. In this study, the removal of Cr6+ in the leather industry wastewater is investigated using MnSO4 that was used easily and economically. Experimental studies are performed in two phases. In the first phase, the optimum MnSO4 dose for removal of Cr6+ was determined. In the second phase, the optimum pH was studied. About 96% removal of chromium was launched with 530 mg l(-1) MnSO4 dose at pH value 9 in the wastewater sample.
