The present study was designed to evaluate the heavy metal absorbing potential of bacteria isolated from industry effluent sites of river Nagavali, Srikakulam Andhra Pradesh. From the effluent waste water three bacteria were isolated and confirmed as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus after performing various biochemical tests. The heavy metal ...

Introduction: Heavy metal pollution is one of the most serious environmental issues globally.In this research we were studied the heavy metal concentrations in sediment and fish in Persian gulf. Materials & Methods For determination of heavy metal concentrations in sediments 8 sampling stations were selected to measure Cd, Zn, Ni, Pb and Fe in the sediments and in the muscle tiss...

this paper is a preliminary communication of a study on removal and recovery of heavy metalsfrom industrial waste waters using electro-coagulation (ec) technique. the larger study envisages use of solarenergy for producing the d.c. current, and simple chemical methods of standard methods in chemistry like useof hydrochloric acid, hydrogen sulfide, collection of precipitate, incineration and get...

This study aimed to evaluate the concentration of heavy metals in liquid effluents and to quantify the mercury content in dental amalgam waste generated by dental clinics. Three neighbouring cities in Northeast Algeria were considered in this study (Constantine, Skikda, and Annaba). Heavy metals, such as Hg, Cu, Zn, Fe, Ni, Mn, Cr, Cd, and Pb, were analysed in wastewater and then compared with ...

gas injection into heavy oil reservoirs could result in high ultimate recovery of oil. experimental studies showed that an application of a combined technology of gas assisted gravity drainage (gagd) and vapor extraction (vapex) could increase final oil recovery of a candidate viscous oil reservoir. in this paper the results of laboratory investigation are presented, including pressure-volume-t...

background and objectives: despite the increasing impact of heavy metal pollution in persian gulf due to urban growth and agricultural and petroleum activities, few studies have focused on the behavior and relationships of these pollutants in the biotic and abiotic components of aquatic environments. in this study, the amount of some metals (copper, iron, lead, cadmium, zinc and nickel) was det...

The present study was aimed at comparing the ability of three crop plants for phytoremediation of zinc (Zn) and nickel (Zn) from soils. A factorial (3×2×3) experiment based on RCBD was used to compare the treatments, and was repeated three times. The first factor was crop type (wheat, clover and rapeseed), the second factor was heavy metal types (zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni)) and the third factor ...

background and aims: the removing of (potential) toxic heavy metal ions from sewage, especially in industrial and mining waste effluents, has been widely studied in recent years. the aim of present study was to investigate the various methods for lead removal of lead ions from industrial wastewater. methods: this study was a review research. data were collected through different databases in va...

nickel (ni) is a heavy metal and soil pollutant but existence of small amount of it as a metallic part of urease enzyme in the plants is necessary. remediation of spots contaminated with heavy metals is particularly challenging. phytoremediation, the use of plants for environmental restoration, is a novel clean up technology. in this study, five levels of nickel [control (ni0), ni125, ni250, ni...
