In the present study a new, cheaper, more abundantly available natural adsorbent is purposed to gain as an alternative to activated carbon, commonly used in heavy metal refining. When the walnut tree shavings (Juglans regia L.) used as adsorbent on chromium (VI) adsorption; contact time, pH, adsorbent concentration, initial metal concentration and temperature parameters were tested for the suitability of adsorption isotherms
