In this work, polyaniline (PANI)/cotton composite was prepared by in-situ oxidative polymerization and applied to remove Cr (VI) in solution. The as-prepared composite shows a high Cr (VI) removal rate (93.81%) at pH=2. Meanwhile, the adsorption kinetics follows the pseudo-second-order rate equation and the adsorption isotherm data fits well to the Langmuir isothermal model.
