%X Abstract¡ª In this research work green algae was 
chemically treated with Calcium Chloride or Perchloric acid 
and Formaldehyde or only washed with distilled water. This 
pretreated algae was used for equilibrium sorption uptake 
studies with Cr(VI). The Box-Behnken Design in response 
surface methodology by MATLAB was used for modelling the 
experiments.
