Heavy Metal Removal from Water and Wastewater Using Raw and Modified Diatomite (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Heavy metal removal from wastewater using various adsorbents: a review

Heavy metals are discharged into water from various industries. They can be toxic or carcinogenic in nature and can cause severe problems for humans and aquatic ecosystems. Thus, the removal of heavy metals fromwastewater is a serious problem. The adsorption process is widely used for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater because of its low cost, availability and eco-friendly nature. Both...

Applications of Magnetite Nanoparticles for Heavy Metal Removal from Wastewater

Removal of Escherichia Coli and Heavy Metals from Wastewater Using Silver-modified Clinoptilolite

The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of Escherichia coli and heavy metals (Pb, Cd 2+ and Zn ) from wastewater using silver-modified clinoptilolite under different experimental conditions through the combined disinfection of pathogenic microorganisms by the silver ions and sorption of heavy metals on clinoptilolite. Batch experiments were conducted to look at the effects of initi...

Analysis of Carbonated Biosorbents Application in Heavy Metal Removal from Synthetic Wastewater

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effects of removal of hexavalent Chromium using carbonated almond green hulls. In the present study, derived carbon fromalmond green hulls of zonal district of Iran were used to remove hexavalent Chromium from Synthetic wastewater. Materials and Methods: The effects of pH (2-10), Adsorbent dose (2-24 g/L), Cr (VI) concentration (10-100 mg/L), Contact...

Heavy Metal Contaminants Removal from Wastewater Using the Potential Filamentous Fungi Biomass: A Review

The soil and water contaminations are frequently occurred by toxic heavy metals and organic pollutants as a consequence of human activities become a key concern in environmental and health problem. Several toxic metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, Mn, As, Ni, Zn, etc.) from industrial wastewater and other human activities are directly or indirectly released into the environment. Unlike organic contaminants...
