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 ...

Abstract Introduction: The Lead causes severe damage to several systems of the body, especially to bony tissues. Until now, several low-cost biosorbents have been studied for removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. In the present study, carbonized pomegranate peels modified with Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions and then it was investigated for removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution. ...

Given a base design with quantitative factors and a primary linear regression to each of the treatments, we may adjust secondary regressions of linear combinations of the adjusted coefficients on the primary regressions on the factor levels, thus obtaining a biregressional model. A biregressional design was established for a set of treatments, defined from quantitative factors and a linear regr...

Potassium butyl dithiophosphate (PBD) was developed and introduced as a new chelating agent for heavy metal removal. The synthesized PBD were characterized by IR and NMR. The effects of pH, chelating agent dosage, and other heavy metal ions on the performance of PBD in Cd2+ removal from water are investigated. Experimental results showed that the chelating agent could be used to treat acidic he...

The mining industry generates huge amounts of wastewater, containing toxic heavy metals. Treatment to remove heavy metals is necessary and recent work has been focused on finding more environmentally friendly materials for removing heavy metals from wastewater. Biosorption can be an effective process for heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions. Our objectives were to investigate the removal ...

The effective removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater is the most important issues for many industrialized countries and it is big challenge for human being. This research focuses on understanding adsorption process and developing a cost effective technology for treatment of heavy metals-contaminated industrial wastewater. In this investigation the Fe2O3 magneti...

Background and aims: The removing of (potential) toxic heavy metal ions from sewage, especially in industrial and mining waste effluents, has been widely studied in recent years. The aim of present study was to investigate the various methods for lead removal of lead ions from industrial wastewater. Methods: This study was a review research. Data were collected through different databases in va...

The aim of this study was to provide descriptive information on meal and snack patterns and to investigate snacks in relation to energy intake and food choice according to the meal patterns of employed people in Korea. 683 employed people (292 males, 391 females) were interviewed to collect one day dietary data by using 24-h dietary recall. A recorded day was divided into 3 meal and 3 snack per...

Heavy metals are categorized based on their high density, atomic weight, atomic number and molecular weight. Lewis acids property of metal ions results in covalent complex formation with different ligands in humans and other living forms which make metals nondegradable and cause toxicity (Duffus, 2002). Pulp and paper mill are categorized as one of the 12 most polluting industries in India whic...
