Removal of Solubilized Solvent Extractants from Aqueous Waste Streams

Removal of H2S from Synthetic Waste Gas Streams Using a Biotrickling Filter

The removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from airstreams was studied in a biotrickling filter packed with porous lava as a carrier of Thiobacillus thioparus (DSM5368) with counter current flows of the air and liquid streams. The effect of operating parameters on biotrickling filter performance was studied. Experiments were performed at different empty bed residence times (9-60 sec), and...

Removal of Mercury from Aqueous Solutions by Waste Brick

Mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metals present in aquatic systems, exhibiting a complex behaviour in the environment, where it may persist for decades after the source of pollution is stopped. Hence, it is important develop new techniques for its removal from the aquatic systems. In this context, a particularly promising line of research is the use of new materials capable of up taking m...

Removal of Heavymetals (Cr) From Aqueous Solution Using Industrial Waste

Dolochar which is a solid waste generated by the sponge iron industries is a major concern worldwide. In this paper an attempt has been made to investigate the properties (i.e. physical and chemical) so as to reutilize it as absorbent to absorb the pollutants present in water. The adsorption behavior of dolochar using batch process has been studied to remove hexavalent chromium from synthetic w...

Removal of Zinc from Aqueous Solution Using Coffee Industry Waste

Biosorption is most economical method for removing toxic metals from waste water.The paper presents the results of studies carried out on sorption of zinc ions from aqueous solutions by a coffee industry waste s a low-cost sorbent. It was found that crushed coffee industry waste possess relatively high sorption capacity as 46.05 mg/g, when comparing with other sorbents. The biosorption studies ...
