Microorganisms play a significant role in bioremediation of heavy metal contaminated soil and wastewater. In this study, heavy metal resistant fungi and bacteria were isolated from the soil samples of an electroplating industry, and the bioaccumulations of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) by these isolates were characterized to evaluate their applicability for heavy metal removal from industrial wastewaters. ...

to cobalt with negative results for chromium, nickel and cement. Both prostheses were removed and the joints were sterile but contained grey pultaceous material with a relatively high cobalt and chromium content; there were multiple acetabular fractures on each side and the acetabular wall was paper-thin. Following the removal of the second prosthesis she became cobalt-negative and her urinary ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Coagulation is an essential process for the removal of fine particulate matter in water treatment. Polyaluminium ferric chloride (PAFC) is a composite inorganic polymer of Aluminium and ferric salt. This study was conducted to find out the optimum coagulation conditions for the removal of turbidity, color and organic matter (UV absorbance) in low to mediu...

background chromium is one of the most commonly used heavy metals in industry. it is known as a pollutant that its discharge into the environment needs special care. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate the functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-mwcnts) as a novel adsorbent of chromium in aqueous solutions. materials and methods the virgin mwcnt was protonated using sulfuric ...

An evaluation of the chromium(VI) adsorption capacity of four magnetite sorbents coated with a polymer phase containing polymethacrylic acid or polyallyl-3-methylimidazolium is presented. Factors that influence the chromium(VI) removal such as solution pH and contact time were investigated in batch experiments and in stirred tank reactor mode. Affinity and rate constants increased with the mola...
