Heavy  metal  pollution  is  propagating  throughout  the  world  with  the  enlargement  of  industrial activities.  The  elimination  of  heavy  metal  ions  from  industrial  wastewaters  has  drawn  much attention  because  of  the  hazardous  effects  of  the  heavy  metal  ions  on  different  organisms. According to these facts, poly (2, 2, 3, 3- tetracyanocyclopropyl) phenyl acryl...

Background & Aims of the Study: Heavy metals discharge to environment is a worldwide problem growing in scale. When they accumulate in the environment and in food chains, they can profoundly disrupt biological processes. Peganum Harmala Seeds (PHS) was used as a bio-sorbent, using a continuous system for removing Pb2+, Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ ions from aqueous solutions. ...

jute modified has been used for adsorption of cr (vi), cd (ii) and pb (ii) ions over a range ofinitial metal ion concentration. adsorption process is done in batch mode. adsorption isotherms ofthe heavy metals on adsorbents prepared were determined and correlated with common isothermequations. it was found that the freundlich isotherm is better than langmuir for explaining thebehavior of adsorp...

ADSORPTION OF COPPER(II) BY PEANUT HULLS IN A FIXED-BED, CONTINUOUS FLOW COLUMN Tyler Stephen Cook, Masters of Science in Chemistry Western Carolina University (April 2017) Advisor: Dr. Carmen L. Huffman Heavy metal pollution is an important concern due to its adverse health and environmental effects. Biosorption is a way to remove heavy metals from aqueous systems with the use of biomaterials....

This paper describes the adsorption of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by oak (Quercus coccifera) sawdust modified by means of HCl treatment. Our study tested the removal of three heavy metals: Cu, Ni, and Cr. The optimum shaking speed, adsorbent mass, contact time, and pH were determined, and adsorption isotherms were obtained using concentrations of the metal ions ranging from 0.1 to ...

Corn cob as a low cost adsorbent was used in the present work for the removal of toxic heavy metal Co2+ from aqueous solutions. Bath experiments were used to determine the best adsorption conditions. The equilibrium adsorption level was determined as a function of solution pH, temperature (T), contact time (tc), initial adsorbate concentration, and adsorbent dosage. Effective removal of metal i...

background: heavy metals, even at low concentrations, are harmful to human health and environment. cadmium as a heavy metal is highly toxic and can cause serious threat to living organisms. this research was designed to evaluate the adsorption potential of modified magnetic iron nanoparticles by 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol ligand for the removal of cadmium ions from water solu...

presence of heavy metals in the aquatic systems has become a serious problem. as a result, therehas been a great deal of attention given to new technologies for removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated waters. adsorption is one of the effective methods for removal of toxic heavy metal such as chromium (vi). in the present study, adsorbent is prepared from rice husk, a low cost by product f...

The competitive adsorption of the cationic pesticide chlordimeform and the heavy metal zinc on montmorillonite was studied. For different concentrations of Zn used, chlordimeform decreases (in relation to Zn-free treatments) when the pesticide is adsorbed simultaneously with the metal, but increases when Zn is adsorbed previously to chlordimeform. When comparing the Ko values chlordimeform is s...
