background and aims: chromium is considered as one of the important environmental pollutants. there is high concentration of chromium in the wastewater of electroplating industries. magnetic iron nanoparticles are used to control and eliminate heavy metals from industrial effluents through the mechanisms of adsorption, ion exchange and electro-static forces. the aim of this study was to evaluat...

In this work, waste marigold flowers from Temple were used as adsorbent to remove cadmium (II) and chromium (VI) ions from aqueous solutions. Influences of initial heavy metal concentrations, contact time, adsorbent dose, temperature and initial pH on removal of cadmium (II) and chromium (VI) ions were studied under batch mode of operation. Both the adsorption process of cadmium (II) and chromi...

In recent decades, enormous use of chromium in different industries as well as water and soil pollution by those industries caused serious concern. Toxic impact of chromium on the growth of plants includes changes in the process of germination and root, stem and leaves’ growth. Chromium also has harmful impact on the plants’ physiological processes such as photosynthesis. On the other hand, iro...

Industrial wastewater contain higher quantities of salts besides chromium (VI) ions, therefore, the effect of these salts on the adsorption of chromium (VI) should be studied. In this research, the batch removal of toxic hexavalent chromium ions from wastewater and aqueous solution using two different activated carbon marine algae Gracilaria (red algae) and Sargassum sp. (brown algae) were exam...

Raw bagasse, Bagasse fly ash and distillery sludge, the waste generated in sugar mills and distillery have been used as lowcost potential biosorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium from an aqueous solution. The effect of hydrogen ion concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial concentrations of adsorbate and adsorbent dose on the uptake of chromium were studied in batch experime...

purpose: this study aimed to analyze the effects of removal of hexavalent chromium using carbonated almond green hulls. in the present study, derived carbon fromalmond green hulls of zonal district of iran were used to remove hexavalent chromium from synthetic wastewater. materials and methods: the effects of ph (2-10), adsorbent dose (2-24 g/l), cr (vi) concentration (10-100 mg/l), contact tim...

Copper and hexavalent chromium are heavy metals that are harmful to human health. Natural adsorbent chitosan, due to its considerable properties such as the presence of functional groups of –NH2 and -OH, non-toxicity, low cost, and biocompatibility, has gained much attention in pollutant removal. Therefore, in the present study, adsorption of chromium (VI) and copper (II) ions was conducted in ...

BACKGROUND In this study the removal of Chromium (III) and Chromium (VI) ions are investigated via polymer enhanced ultrafiltration under important process parameters. This study proposes the use of unmodified starch as a novel polymer in the ultrafiltration process and its performance on the removal of chromium ions was compared with a commonly used polymer, polyethylene glycol. METHODS The ...
