concentrations of heavy metals (ni, co, zn, cd, pb and cu) in the reservoir of shahid rajaeidam, one of the main water reservoirs in north part of iran, were determined using a differential pulse polarography(metrohm 797 va) and compared with the national and international specified maximum contaminant levels(mcl) for different purposes of water use. the results showed that concentrations of cd...

the long term effects of sewage water irrigation on soil properties and heavy metal concentrations at rohtak city, haryana (india) was investigated. at each location, soil samples were collected from the upper layer (0-10cm) for determination of various physico-chemical parameters. heavy metals (pb, cu, mn, zn, cd, ni, and fe) were also determined. the chemical analysis of sewage effluent showe...

Background: The rapid increase in agricultural and industrial development has made heavy metal pollution a serious environmental problem and public health threat; therefore, removal of heavy metals from water is important. The current study prepared DNPH@SDS@Fe3O4 nanoparticles as a novel and effective adsorbent for removal of Hg(II) ions from an aqueous solution. Methods: A selective adsorben...

background: the presence of heavy metals in the environment especially in water supplies have caused many concerns because of their toxicity and non-degradability. hexavalent chromium (cr) is one of the most toxic metals which is used in many industries, so it is essential to remove it from industrial wastewater. in this study, we made a comparison between different adsorption isotherms in the ...

pollution of water and soils by heavy metals is an emerging problem in industrialized countries.the present study was conducted to investigate the heavy metals concentration in water and sedimentsamples from ship breaking sites of sitakunda to assess the potential ecological risk posed by heavy metalusing different methods. heavy metals concentration was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrosco...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), abundant in mixed contaminant sites, often coexist with heavy metals. The fate and remediation of PAHs depend heavily on the sorption and desorption behavior of these contaminants. The sorption behavior can in turn be highly affected by certain soil components and properties, such as soil organic matter (SOM) and the presence of heavy metals. Through rev...

phytoremediation is an eco-friendly method for removal of pollutants, which can be relied upon as a sustainable technology, if implemented under optimum conditions of plant growth. the effectiveness of water hyacinth, a topical weed, for the removal of zinc (zn) and chromium (cr) ions from aqueous solutions has been presented in this article. the potential of this plant in removing metals by ph...
