Alginite has been evaluated as an efficient pollution control material. In this paper, alginite from maar Pinciná (SR) for removal of Cd ions from aqueous solution was studied. The potential sorbent was characterized by X-ray fluorescence analysis (RFA) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis (FT-IR) and specific surface area (SSA) was also determined. The sorption process was op...

In this study, novel polycarbonate-titanium oxide nanotubes (PC-TNT) ultrafiltration mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated for decontamination of Cd2+ and Cu2+ metal ions from aqueous solution. The weight percent of TNTs in the polycarbonate membrane matrix was changed from 0 to 15. The synthesized neat PC membrane and PC-TNTs MMMs were characterized with respect to structural morpholog...

Although the phenomenon of immunosuppression is well established, the mechanisms involved in the generation of lymphocytes with down-regulatory activity are poorly understood. Unlike anti-CD3 antibodies, mitogenic combinations of anti-CD2 antibodies do not stimulate human PBL to produce IgM or IgG. In determining the reason for this difference, we have found that anti-CD2 triggers an inhibitory...

The goal of this study was to identify Cd-resistant bacterial strains with endurance capacity and to evaluate their ability to remove cadmium ions from cadmium-polluted water. The Bacillus cereusS5 strain identified in this study had the closest genetic relationship with B. cereus sp. Cp1 and performed well in the removal of Cd2+ions from solution. The results showed that both the live and dead...

Exploring a sustainable route for the efficient treating/recycling of heavy metal (like Ni2+, Cd2+, Cu2+) contamination water is highly desirable both from environment and resource view. Herein, we reported scale-up synthesis monolayer magnesium-aluminium layered double hydroxide (m-MgAl-LDH) nanosheets, which showed exceptional ability to mineralize Cd2+ Cu2+ rapidly efficiently. Furthermore, ...

The adsorption technique using chemically treated powder of bark of Acacia arabica was applied for the removal of toxic heavy metals from polluted waste water. The extent of adsorption found to be dependent on the pH and the time of contact. The adsorbent is effective for the quantitative removal of various toxic metals from the contaminated aqueous sample. The method is quite feasible, economi...

Abstract The present study reports on the adsorptive removal of heavy metals (Cr3+, Cd2+, and Cu2+) from water by a series Lycium barbarum branch-based adsorbents: branch (denoted as LB), fungal fermented LB (FLB), biochar (LBB), FLB (FLBB), alkaline modified LBB (ALBB), FLBB (AFLBB). six adsorbents were characterized in terms FTIR, SEM, surface area pore size well zeta potential. potential the...

The possibility of Pb2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ and Ba2+ ions removal from aqueous solution using light expanded clay aggregate (LECA) was investigated in this work. central composite design (CCD) response surface methodology (RSM) used to optimize the operating parameters (adsorbent granulometry, absorption time initial metal concentration) reach maximum single multi-elemental solutions. After optimizatio...
