Polyacrylic-Co-Maleic-Acid-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles for Enhanced Removal of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solutions

Mercury Removal From Aqueous Solutions With Chitosan-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles Optimized Using the Box-Behnken Design

BACKGROUND Nowadays, removal of heavy metals from the environment is an important problem due to their toxicity. OBJECTIVES In this study, a modified method was used to synthesize chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles (CCMN) to be used as a low cost and nontoxic adsorbent. CCMN was then employed to remove Hg(2+) from water solutions. MATERIALS AND METHODS To remove the highest percentage ...

Preparation of magnetic chitosan/Fe-Zr nanoparticles for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution

Copper and hexavalent chromium are heavy metals that are harmful to human health. Natural adsorbent chitosan, due to its considerable properties such as the presence of functional groups of –NH2 and -OH, non-toxicity, low cost, and biocompatibility, has gained much attention in pollutant removal. Therefore, in the present study, adsorption of chromium (VI) and copper (II) ions was conducted in ...

Removal of Lead from Aqueous Solutions by Polyacrylic Acid-Bentonite Composite: Batch and Column Studies

Shortage of water resources and deterioration of water quality have urged the need to develop new technologies for the removal of contaminants from water. Heavy metals produced by municipal and industrial activities are among the most toxic contaminants present in the natural and waste waters. Different methods have been developed for the elimination of heavy metals from water resources and ind...
