    An investigation was conducted on adsorption and desorption of Cr(III) with a new spherical cellulose adsorbent containing the carboxymethyl group by using static and dynamic methods. The static experiments showed that the adsorption of Cr(III) on adsorbent was pH, adsorption temperature, initial concentration and adsorption time dependent. The adsorption process followed both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The dynamic process was highly flow rate dependent. Moreover, the adsorption capacity and adsorption percentage were 21.44 mg/g and 91.0% from dynamic way, respectively. The Cr(III) adsorbed can be recovered with NaOH solution. Additionally, the maximum desorption percentage of Cr(III) was 94.5% using a 2.0 mol/l NaOH aqueous solution from static and dynamic methods. Only 3.6% of adsorption capacity decreased after 20 cycles of re adsorption and desorption. The spherical cellulose adsorbent is demonstrated to be an effective adsorbent for recovery of Cr(III) from aqueous solutions.
