    The objective of the present investigation was to study the removal of chromium (VI) in aqueous solution by means of isothermal models using alginate beads with Chlorella sp. immobilized and alginate beads without Chlorella sp.; the removal was evaluated using solutions of chromium at different concentrations. To determine the kinetics of removal, samples of aqueous solution were obtained in a range of 0-240 minutes. Then, the removal of the metal at pH 4 and 5 and at different cell densities of Chlorella sp. (0.3x107; 1.6x107; 3x107 cells/mL of alginate). Finally, the effect of the initial concentration of chromium was evaluated, analyzing six concentrations (0-20 mg/L). All the tests were analyzed by Atomic Absorption spectrometer, obtaining the highest percentage of removal at a contact time of 224 min, pH 5 and 3x107 cells/mL with 81.09% and 72.20% removal by the action of the alginate beads with Chlorella sp. and alginate beads without Chlorella sp, respectively. Three isothermal models were analyzed, the Langmuir isotherm being the one that was best adjusted to describe the adsorption process, determining a maximum adsorption capacity of 5.08 mg/g for alginate beads with Chlorella sp. and 3.74 mg/g for the alginate beads without Chlorella sp, concluding that there is a greater adsorption capacity when immobilizing Chlorella sp. in pearls of alginate. In addition, the isothermal analysis allows to recommend its possible use in the treatment of water contaminated with chromium (VI).La presente investigaci贸n tuvo como objetivo estudiar la remoci贸n de cromo (VI) en soluci贸n acuosa mediante modelos isot茅rmicos empleando perlas de alginato de calcio con Chlorella sp. inmovilizada y perlas de alginato de calcio sin Chlorella sp.; la remoci贸n se evalu贸 utilizando soluciones de cromo a diferentes concentraciones. Para determinar la cin茅tica de remoci贸n se obtuvieron muestras de soluci贸n acuosa en un intervalo de 0-240 minutos. Luego, se evalu贸 la remoci贸n del metal a pH 4 y 5 y a diferentes densidades celulares de Chlorella sp. (0.3x107; 1.6x107; 3x107 c茅lulas/mL de alginato). Por 煤ltimo, se evalu贸 el efecto de la concentraci贸n inicial de cromo, analizando seis concentraciones (0-20 mg/L). Todos los ensayos se analizaron mediante espectrometr铆a de Absorci贸n At贸mica, obteniendo el mayor porcentaje de remoci贸n a un tiempo de contacto de 224 min, pH 5 y 3x107 c茅lulas/mL con 81.09% y 72.20% de remoci贸n por acci贸n de las perlas de alginato con Chlorella sp. y perlas de alginato sin Chlorella sp, respectivamente. Se analizaron tres modelos isot茅rmicos siendo la isoterma de Langmuir aquella que se ajust贸 de mejor manera para describir el proceso de adsorci贸n, determinando una capacidad m谩xima de adsorci贸n de 5.08 mg de Cr/g para las perlas de alginato con Chlorella sp. y 3.74 mg/g para las perlas de alginato sin Chlorella sp, concluyendo que existe una mayor capacidad de adsorci贸n al inmovilizar Chlorella sp. en perlas de alginato. Adem谩s, el an谩lisis isot茅rmico permite recomendar su posible uso en el tratamiento de aguas contaminadas con cromo (VI)
