Cadmium can be found in wastewater in high concentrations and can cause dangerous effect on aqueous environment and human health. At present, many methods have been used to heavy metals removal. Among this clean up techniques, adsorption techniques by using low-cost adsorbent are more considerable. In this study, batch adsorption experiments were conducted for removal of cadmium ions from a...

A low cost adsorbent Fly Ash was used for the removal of Reactive Red 194 dye (RR 194 dye) from textile effluent. The Fly ash was activated by chemical treatment by N/2 H2SO4. Batch adsorption experiments were performed as functions of adsorbent doses, initial dye concentration, contact time, and pH. The percentage of colour removal was increased with decreasing dye concentration and increasing...

background: phosphorus is an indispensable element for the growth of animals and plants. there are several environmental problems related to phosphate; therefore, the technical and economic methods of removing phosphate are of great importance. this study evaluated the efficiency of polyaniline/ni0.5zn0.5fe2o4 magnetic nanocomposite in removing phosphate from aqueous environments. methods: the ...

Arsenic is a highly toxic element for human beings, which is generally found in groundwater. Dissolved Arsenic in water can be seen as As+3 and As+5 states. The adsorption process is one of the available methods to remove Arsenic from aqueous solutions. Thus, this papers aims at removing Arsenic (III) from aqueous solutions through adsorption on iron oxide granules. The relation among four inde...

introduction: cadmium is a heavy metal with high toxicity and is best known as a carcinogen element. for protecting human health and environment it is necessary to remove excess cadmium from industrial wastewater before discharging it to surface and ground water. in this study the efficiency of zinc oxides nanoparticles in cadmium removal from aqueous solution was evaluated. methods: this is a ...

ABSTRACT: Excess fluoride ion (F) in drinking water causes harmful effects such as dental and skeletal fluorosis. Hence, its concentration in drinking water must not exceed a certain range. This study investigated the removal of F from aqueous solutions with CuO nanoparticles using a range of experimental approaches, including pH, adsorbent dose, contact times, and initial F concentration. The ...

the removal of cd2+ and pb2+ ions from wastewater using p-tert-butyl-calix[4] arene was investigated in terms of initial ph, initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature. the maximum adsorption occurred at the ph value of 6. the adsorbent studied exhibits high efficiency for cd (ii)and pb (ii) adsorption and the equilibrium states could be achieved in 10 min. adsorption...
