background: today, through various industrial processes, toxic heavy metals are released into aquatic environments that are harmful to the ecosystem. in the present investigation, removal of such contaminants from industrial wastewater is necessary. the purpose was made to extend an ecofriendly technology by using a bio carbon generated from sunflower waste biomass. methods: the impact of initi...

The discharge of waste water containing heavy metals like Cr, Cd, Cu from tanneries, electroplating units, metal processing industry etc is the major cause for metal pollution which in turn causes adverse effects in the environment. The conventional methods available for removal of heavy metal are costly and also produce some toxic sludge. This has lead to the invention of new technology like b...

Removal of cadmium from aqueous solution was studied by using Quetta pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) leaves. Batch adsorption experiments were performed as a function of appropriate equilibrium time, pH, concentration of adsorbate and amount of adsorbent. The optimum pH required for maximum adsorption was found to be 7.0 and the maximum contact time for the equilibrium was 30 minutes at adsorbent...

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ISP-MS) and scanning electron microscope-X-ray fluorescence (SEM-XRF) methods were used for the investigation of olivine sorption properties. It has been shown, that may be applied as a cheap available material metals, including heavy from wastewater. The comparatively low capacity pay off by its accessibility cheapness. mechanism adsorption on surf...

algae have been proven efficient biological vectors for heavy metal uptake. in order to further study their biosorption potential, two strains spirogyra sp. and spirulina sp. have been studied under different initial metal concentrations. in recent years, the biosorption processes have been studied extensively using microbial biomass as biosorbent for heavy metal ions removal. in these studies...

Soil washing process with a surfactant solution is a potential technology for the rapid removal of hydrophobic organic compound (HOC) from soil. However, large amount of washed water would be produced during operation and this should be treated effectively by proper methods. The soil washed water for complex contaminated site with HOC and heavy metals might contain high amount of pollutants suc...

Natural occurrence and anthropogenic practices contribute to the release of pollutants, specifically heavy metals, in water over years. Therefore, this leads a demand proper treatment minimize harmful effects toxic metals water, so that supply clean can be distributed into environment or household. This review highlights several methods used removing metal from water. Among various methods, ads...

Elevated concentrations of heavy metals in drinking water resources and industrial or urban wastewater pose a serious threat to human health the equilibrium ecosystems [...]
