introduction wetlands are classified into four kinds of flows as subsurface, surface, vertical, and hybrid flows. usually, wetlands are planted with common reed (phragmites australis), a rhizomatose plant of the graminae which produces a good yield in green biomass and whose roots can reach a considerable depth and plays a significant role in the wetland self-purification. the treatment efficie...

toxic heavy metals, such as lead (pb) and cadmium (cd) are widely used in industry and their accumulation in the living tissues may cause serious health problems and ecological hazards. twenty four moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from saline environments of iran were used to study their ability to bioremediation of lead and cadmium. amongst them, a gram-negative rod shaped bacterium, de...

The present investigation describes the evaluation of feasibility of MWCNT-Fe3O4 nanocomposite toward adsorptive removal of Co(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution in batch mode. The Fe3O4–MWCNT hybrid was prepared using a simple one-pot strategy via in situ growth of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles onto the surface of the MWCNT...

background lead is a toxic metal with a poor electrical conductivity. this metal can be hazardous and poisonous even in low concentrations. objectives the objective of this study is the evaluation of prosopis mimosaceae sawdust as a low-cost adsorbent for removal of the lead from effluents. materials and methods the experiment was conducted in a batch system and the effect of ph, the amount of ...
