A Comparative Study of Two Indigenous Bacterial Biosorbents for Mercury Removal from Aqueous Solutions
In the present study, the capability of dried indigenous biomass of Vibrio and Oceanimonas, was assessed and compared for mercury biosorption from aqueous solutions. It was found that both of the biosorbents reached equilibrium after 60 min of contact although the mercury sorption capacity of Vibrio was significantly more. Its sorption capacity increased from 9 to 83 ...
متن کاملAdsorption of copper, lead and cadmium from aqueous solutions by activated carbon prepared from saffron leaves
Background: Industrial development has caused the release of various pollutants including heavy metals into the environment. These toxic compounds are extremely dangerous to living beings and the environment due to their non-biodegradability, severe toxicity, carcinogenicity, the ability to be accumulated in nature and the ability to contaminate groundwater and surface water. The aim of the pre...
متن کاملPediatric Exposures to Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, and Methyl Mercury
Lead, arsenic, cadmium, and methyl mercury are nonessential and potentially highly toxic metals. They may be found in minute and variable but measurable amounts in food, drinking water, and/or ambient air. Because each of the metals has been identified as a serious environmental contaminant in various parts of the world, much research effort has been devoted to them, especially during the past ...
متن کاملFruits Contaminated with Lead, Cadmium and Nitrate are the Risks to Human Health: A seasonal study
Background: Consumers may be contaminated by various food intakes as one of the most important sources of organic and inorganic pollutants associated with agriculture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and nitrate contaminations in watermelon and carrot samples and the associated risks to human health. Methods: In this cross sectional study, 108 samples of wat...
