REMOVAL OF BERYLLIUM (Be2+) FROM WATER SAMPLES BY SORPTION PROCESS: A REVIEW

Beryllium (Be2+) is an important industrial metal because of its unusual material properties: it lighter than aluminium and six times stronger steel. a strategic due to low density combined with strength, neutron absorption, high melting point modulus elasticity. often alloyed other metals such as copper component materials used in the aerospace, automotive, energy, defense, medical, electronics industries. However, beryllium compounds are very toxic, especially lungs, skin, eyes. known carcinogens based on sufficient evidence carcinogenicity humans from human studies. Toxic effects include immunotoxic, allergic, mutagenic, carcinogenic effects. Mammalian tissues do not excrete it, so cumulative can lead death at concentrations. Therefore, removal Be2+ important. In this review, water samples by sorption processes using different sorbents was summarized. The process parameters have been work discussed showed that ion exchange resins, various modified biosorbents oxides be for Be2+. results pH solution has effect rate. Sorption kinetics vary 3 minutes 48h. When functional groups surface sorbent, rapid. if sorbent covered magnetite, takes longer reach equilibrium. Published shows more 99 % removed solution.
