Removal of Pb2+ from Water by Synthesized Tannin Resins from Invasive South African Trees

Removal of Arsenic from Water Using Aluminum Nanoparticles Synthesized through Arc Discharge Method

The present study describes a novel procedure for As (V) removal from water using pure Al nanoparticles (AlNps) prepared by arc discharge technique. Some spectroscopic and microscopic techniques such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) corroborated the s...

Removal of Mercury and Arsenic Metal Pollutants from Water Using Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized from Lichen Sinensis Ramalina Extract

Background & objectives: The import of heavy metals into various sources of drinking water supply is one of the major problems of water quality, especially in industrial areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of mercury and arsenic metal pollutants to be removed from aqueous solutions using green oxide nanoparticles synthesized by green method. For this purpose, the extract...

Dye removal from water by zinc ferrite-graphene oxide nanocomposite

In this work, zinc ferrite magnetic and zinc ferrite-graphene oxide nanocomposite were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method and dye removal capability as an adsorbent were studied. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, X-ray diffraction XRD and scanning electron microscopy SEM were used to characterize the synthesized nanocomposite. The UV-Vis results showed that the additi...

Removal of Copper from Aqueous Solution by Ion Exchange Resins

Removal of Lead from Aquatic Solution Using Synthesized Iron Nanoparticles

   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...
