Anaerobic systems provide for higher Cr(VI) removal rates compared to aerobic systems.
Complete microbial Cr(VI) reduction is achieved under anaerobic conditions.
Easily degradable substrates support higher Cr(VI) removal rates than complex ones.
Cr(VI) removal rates follow the Arrhenius equation for temperatures between 12 °C–33 °C.
Sand filtration as a polishing step provides for complete Cr removal from groundwater.
