Remarkably, the AnZVI/MR-1/RF system achieved complete removal of 20 mg L<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup> Cr(VI) within 3 h, outperforming AnZVI/MR-1 and AnZVI alone by 23.8 % and 36.6 %, respectively.

Electrochemical analyses confirmed RF’s critical role as an electron mediator in accelerating charge transfer between AnZVI and MR-1. Three-dimensional fluorescence mapping (3D-EEM) analysis revealed microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) contributions to chromium immobilization processes. The immobilization of chromium is primarily attributed to the reduction of Cr(VI) to insoluble Cr(III) species, in conjunction with adsorption and surface complexation mechanisms. TEM validated a significant reduction in the thickness of the iron passivation layer, resulting in the exposure of the underlying Fe⁰ core and a resultant enhancement in reductive capacity.
