background and aims: nowadays heavy metals are the environmental priority pollutants and are becoming as the most serious environmental problems. in recent years removing those from diverse industrial effluents and metal cleaning have been studied. the aim of the present study was to investigate the different methods for cooper removal of cooper ions from industrial wastewater. methods: this st...

Magnetic porous microspheres are widely used in modern wastewater treatment technology due to their simple and quick dye adsorption and separation functions. In this article, we prepared porous polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres by the seed-swelling method, followed by in situ formation of iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles within the pore. Then, we used diazo-resin (DR) to encapsulate th...

In the present investigation, an attempt was made to develop a treatment system for the management of atrazine bearing wastewater. The system consists of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket ~UASB! reactor followed by an adsorption column using waste activated carbon as the adsorbent. The UASB reactor could remove more than 80% of organic matter and 40–50% of atrazine, irrespective of the concent...

The adsorbents of starch grafted p-tert-butyl-calix[4,6,8]arene-SGCn (SGC4, SGC6, SGC8) are prepared. The products are characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscope. Static adsorption behavior is studied by using SGC8 as adsorbent, butyl Rhodamine B (BRB) solution as simulation dye wastewater. The adsorption of BRB onto SGC8 fits the se...

With increasing awareness of reduction of energy and CO2 footprint, more waste is considered recyclable for generating value-added products. Here we reported the negatively-valued iron mud, a waste from groundwater treatment plant, was successfully converted into magnetic adsorbent. Comparing with the conventional calcination method under the high temperature and pressure, the synthesis of the ...

in this research, the batch removal of toxic hexavalent chromium ions from wastewater and aqueous solution using dried (bd) sargassum sp. (brown marine algae) and activated carbon (ac) prepared from it was examined. biomass, ph and the initial concentration of cr(vi), adsorption models and kinetic studies were investigated. the experiment was performed in a batch system and theeffect of solutio...

background: the rapid increase in agricultural and industrial development has made heavy metal pollution a serious environmental problem and public health threat; therefore, removal of heavy metals from water is important. the current study prepared dnph@sds@fe3o4 nanoparticles as a novel and effective adsorbent for removal of hg(ii) ions from an aqueous solution. methods: a selective adsorbent...

Treatment of tar-containing wastewater is necessary for the successful operation of biomass gasification plants (BGPs). In the present study, tar-containing wastewater was treated using lime and alum for the removal of in-organics, followed by adsorption on powdered activated carbon (PAC) for the removal of organics. Limealum experiments were performed in a jar apparatus and activated carbon st...
