in this research the operation of fixed activated sludge system for treatment of wastewater containing heavy metal compounds, by use of fas pilot ,a plaxy glass tank with three section; these section are downward-flow aerated reactor, upward-flow aerated reactor and gravity sediment unit, length and width and height of each part was respectively 15.7cm, 31.5cm , 51.5 cm and feeding with the syn...

In this research, the removal of lead from the aqueous solution was investigated using natural nontoxic zeolite (clinoptilolite) as a low-cost adsorbent in order to reduce human exposure to it. The clinoptilolite zeolite obtained from the Semnan area was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, FTIR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The central composite design (CCD) defin...

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...

background & aims of the study: heavy metals contaminate drinking water, air and soils. it is very harmful for humans and other live organisms. phytoremediation is one of the direct bio-remediation methods for heavy metal removal from polluted water and soils. this method is accepted environmentally, economically and aesthetically. the purpose of this study was to assess tamarix hispida capacit...

   Due to its ability in chemical oxidation of contaminants, iron nanoparticle is a material of choice to remove lead ions from aquatic solutions. In this study a reduction method in solution phase was applied to synthesize thenanoparticles. Afterwards, the size of the synthesized particles were confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy. It is worth noting that th...
