heavy metals are considered one of the most important environmental pollution and are dissolved form or adsorbed to the suspended solides in the urban storm runoffs and infiltratire ponds. in this article the heavy metals of urban storm runoff and sediments of infiltration pond in shiraz city have been investigated. the results show different pollutions in the urban storm runoffs such as dissol...

In this study, removal of copper (Cu(2+)) and zinc (Zn(2+)) from aqueous solutions is investigated using Cankiri bentonite, a natural clay. During the removal process, batch technique is used, and the effects of pH, clay amount, heavy metal concentration and agitation time on adsorption efficiency are studied. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms are applied in order to...

The Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been chemically functionalized with various oxygen-containing surface groups. The feature of abundant oxygen-containing surface functional groups on the functionalized CNTs is characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperatureprogrammed desorption analysis. Results indicate that the functionalized CNTs have a superior adsorption capacity toward an...

In this study activated carbon prepared from Adathoda vasica stem was used as adsorbent to remove Cu from an industrial waste water. For this purpose, high grade CuSO4.5H2O was used as heavy metal sample. Laboratory experimental investigation was carried out to identify the effect of pH (1.50 – 5.5), agitation time (30-240 min) varying temperature (30-50 ̊C) and varying biomass quantities (2,4,6...

Adsorption of heavy metal on the solid surfaces is an important technique to remove them from the industrial wastewaters. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the ability of agro-waste material coconut shell to remove Cr (VI) from wastewater. The extant of removal was found to be dependent on pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, concentration of metal and particle size. The adsorption f...

This work describes the preparation of the cellulose phosphate with high ion exchange capacity from rice straw and bagasse for removal of heavy metals. In this study, rice straw and bagasse were modified by the reaction with phosphoric acid in the presence of urea. The introduced phosphoric group is an ion exchangeable site for heavy metal ions. The reaction by microwave heating yielded modifie...

nickel is one of the toxin heavy metals in surface waters. developing new approaches aimed at removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions that are simultaneously economical and environmentally friendly is of great importance. the purpose of this study will be using nano-lignocellulose adsorbent as a natural material to remove nickel heavy metal. in this study, several important environmental p...

rice husk is as an organic solid waste material that has high adsorbing capacity in removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater, and can be very effective in treating industrial aqueous solutions that are important sources of water and soil pollution. in this study, the removal of zn(ii) and cr(vi) ions from aqueous solutions using rice husk was investigated. the investigated parameters include...
