batch adsorption experiments were performed to study adsorption potential of agricultural residues viz. rice straw, wheat straw and salvinia plant biomass for removal of heavy metals such as cr, ni, and cd. plant materials were used in different combinations. heavy metal removal efficiency was more at low metal concentration (35 mg/l). salvinia biomass possessed higher efficiency for removing h...

in this research, chitosan was used for the removal of cr (vi) ions from aqueous solution. the effect of parameters like solution ph, initial cr (vi) concentration, agitation time, amount of adsorbent and agitation speed on the adsorption process was studied. the experimental equilibrium data were analyzed by using various models such as langmuir and freundlich. freundlich isotherm model fitted...

The interaction between the ions and the charge of membranes can affect the efficiency of pollutant removal. The present study investigated the removal efficiency of hexavalent chromium and nitrate ions from both actual and synthetic contaminated water via two different commercial spiral wound polyamide nanofilters. In addition, the interaction of ions under different experimental conditions wa...

The present study investigates an NF process for removal of copper and hexavalent chromium, studying the effect of pH (5, 7, 9) as well as contaminants' concentration (50, 500, 5000 µg/L) at a constant pressure of 8 bar; with the recovery rate, regulated at 75±2%. To determine the main factors, affecting the system performance, and evaluate the interaction effects among the factors, the experim...

the aim to achieve in this study is to recover the cr(iii) and process waters used in thewastewaters of chrome tanning operation by membrane process during leather production. in the treatmentalternative contains, cartridge filter, nanofiltration (nf(np10)), nanofiltration nf(xn45) and reverse osmosisro(acm2) membranes. the raw chrome wastewater from the cartridge filter was given to nf(np10)me...

The adsorption ability of Dowex Optipore L493 resin modified with Aliquat 336 (MR), activated carbon modified with Aliquat 336 (MAC) and sawdust modified with Aliquat 336 (MS) for removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution in batch system was investigated. The effects of operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of Cr(VI) ions, pH, temperature and contact time were stu...

Introduction: The most important environmental problem of automotive industries is the produced wastewater due to its various processes. The flocculation and coagulation along with chemical sequestration are among important processes for removing contaminants from wastewaters. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of coagulation and flocculation process along with chemical sequ...
