Removal of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, zinc, nickel and iron) from water by bio-ceramic absorbers of hydroxy-apatite microparticles

چکیده
Heavy metals are highly poisonous in the environment, even in small quantities, and endanger certain species and all live beings. Current methods of removing heavy metals from aqueous media include chemical sequestration, ion exchange, surface absorption, membrane processes, oxidation and revival procedures which have high investment and exploitation costs. Hence, it is significantly necessary to develop new and economical methods for effective removal of these metals from water and sewage. The present paper aims to evaluate efficiency of microparticles in removing heavy metals from water. Results of application of hydroxy-apatite microparticles as absorbers of heavy metals show that the absorption percentage average of lead (84.72%) by hydroxy-apatite microparticles is greater than that of cadmium (49.89%), zinc (72.90%), iron (74.50%) and nickel (79.25%).

Catfish of Anzali wetland has been focused economically and commercially. It also meets the religious Minorities needs to fish meat. So, investigation of its health in the wetland is important. This study aimed to investigate the concentration of heavy metals such as cadmium, Nickle, Zinc and lead in muscle tissues of Catfish in three stations (west, central and east) of Anzali wetland in 2012....
متن کاملDesorption Kinetics of Heavy Metals (Lead, Zinc, and Nickel) Coexisted with Phenanthrene from a Natural High Buffering Soil
This work aims to investigate the competitive time-dependent desorption rate of heavy metals (lead, zinc, nickel) coexisting with phenanthrene from natural high buffering soil. Two non-ionic surfactants (Tween 80 and Brij 35) combined with disodium ethylene diamine tetraacetate salt (Na2-EDTA) were utilized as the reagents. The contaminants’ time-dependent desorption data was fitted with five k...
