Ultramafic rocks of the ophiolitic complexes are prone to alteration and degradation, and therefore, ease of mobility of heavy metals such as nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), lead (Pb), and vanadium (V), resulting in environmental hazards. The ultramafic rocks of the ophiolitic realm of Kurdistan province, west of Iran, show field and compositional evidence for such hazardous conditions...

heavy metals and dyes are major contributors in contamination of water streams. these contaminants enter into our eco- system, thus posing a significant threat to public health, ecological equilibrium and environment. thus a combined discharge of these contaminants results in water pollution with high chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, color, particulate matter, suspended particl...

In order to find an efficient and economical wetland substrate treat mine wastewater containing various heavy metals, effectively realize the resource utilization of water treatment residuals, in this paper, efficiency metals was investigated using unburned ceramsite prepared from residuals (UCWTR) clay ceramsite. The continuous dynamic test results showed that removal rate Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe c...

background: high amount of heavy metals in sludge is one of the major obstacles to its use on farms. the present study aimed to investigate the possibility of leaching heavy metals from wastewater sludge by fenton method and determine the optimum level of parameters, such as iron, hydrogen peroxide, time, and ph for fenton reaction.   methods: the effects of various parameters, such as ph (2-9)...

In the present work, health risk of heavy metals such as As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn in Iranian urban and rural samples including wheat, wheat flour, bread, pasta and sweets were assessed. The real amount of heavy metals in target samples were determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Wet ashing and hydride g...

A bifluorene analogue, T2N, containing a pyridyl moiety serves as both a host and an efficient electron-transporting material that is compatible with various heavy metal-containing red (Ir, Ru, Os, and Pt) and green (Ir) phosphors for highly efficient phosphorescent OLEDs possessing simple device architectures.

heavy metals are considered one of the most important environmental pollution and are dissolved form or adsorbed to the suspended solides in the urban storm runoffs and infiltratire ponds. in this article the heavy metals of urban storm runoff and sediments of infiltration pond in shiraz city have been investigated. the results show different pollutions in the urban storm runoffs such as dissol...

Heavy metals that enter marine environment and remain in the water as well as the sediments are accumulated by aquatic organisms, thus becoming highly good indicators to monitor metal accumulation in the long run. Metals are potentially harmful to humans and most organisms at varied levels of exposure and absorption. Northern East Mediterranean Sea is a crucial region as it is an area, shared b...
