This study was carried out to test the ability of a mixture of sand, cement and clay for immobilizing cadmium ions from leaching out into water resources. Various samples with different mass ratios for this mixture were tested to determine their efficiency for adsorbing cadmium. The compressive test, cation exchange capacity (CEC), adsorption equilibrium and leaching test were applied to each s...

In this study, a performance evaluation of an aluminium oxide modified onion skin waste (Al2O3/OSW) for the removal heavy metal ions (Pb2+ and Cd2+) from aqueous solution was investigated under batch mode adsorption. The surface morphology, elemental composition, functional groups, textural characteristics charge as-made Al2O3/OSW adsorbent were examined using SEM, EDX, FTIR, BET area pHpzc tec...

the application of organic sorbents for removing heavy metal from water, replacing expensive sorbents, is particularly appropriate for developing countries. to investigate the efficiency of some organic sorbents in removing of cd2+ from aqueous solution, an experiment was conducted with three organic sorbents (sunflower stalks, apple and grapevine pruning residues) and 11 initial concentration ...

Carbon from jatropha seed hull (JC) was prepared to study the adsorption of cadmium ions (Cd2+) from aqueous solutions under various experimental conditions. Batch equilibrium methods have been used to study the influences of the initial metal ion concentration (0.5-50 ppm), dosage (0.2-1 g), contact time (0-300 min), pH (2-7), and temperature (26-60 °C) on adsorption behavior. It has been foun...

the main objective of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of using carboxymethyl chitosan magnetic nanoparticles (ccmn) for the adsorption of cd2+. the study also reports important parameters, which affect the adsorption process, i.e., ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and concentration of cd2+, using box-behnken designs. firstly, functional carboxymethyl chitosan magnetic nanopa...

The use of dead, dried aquatic plants, for water removal of metals derived from industrial activities as a simple biosorbent material has been increasing in the last years. The mechanism of simultaneous metal removal (Cd2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+) by 3 macrophytes biomass (Spirodela intermedia, Lemna minor and Pistia stratiotes) was investigated. L. minor biomass presented the highest mean r...

In this work, the mechanisms of cadmium (Cd2+) adsorption on residual biomasses from husks yam (Dioscorea rotundata), cassava (Manihor esculenta), cocoa (Theobroma cacao), corn (Zea mays) and oil palm bagasse (Elaeis guineensis) were studied in order to evaluate effect temperature, adsorbent dose particle size a batch system. Isotherms kinetics determined adjusted different models. The biomater...

concerns about nitrate pollution in groundwater and downstream systems cause development of surface water management system to reduce losses of agricultural drainage water nitrate in subsurface drainage using subsurface irrigation from existing drainage lines, drainage water during the growing season and out of season is controlled. the overall objective of this study was to evaluate the effect...
