BACKGROUND The adsorption process by metal oxide nanoparticles has been investigated an effective agent for removing organic and inorganic contaminants from water and wastewater. In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized in the presence of tangerine peel extract as adsorbent for cadmium ions removal from contaminated solution. Iron oxide nanoparticles prepared by co-precipitation...

Nanomaterials are the leading edge to the rapidly developing nanotechnology. For the synthesis of nanomaterials over a wide range of chemical composition, the development of reliable and efficient methods is a challenging issue in nanotechnology. In context to this green synthesis of nanoparticles using biological systems, plant products and microorganisms are potentially considerable because o...

background and purpose: recently, release of pollutants such as heavy metal ions to the environment becomes one of the most important problems for soil and water. the present study was conducted to introduce modified rice husk (rh) as a new low-cost adsorbent. materials and methods: in this study, tartaric acid modified rh (tarh), was used as an adsorbent for removal of ni(ii) and cd(ii) from w...

introduction     cadmium as one of the toxic heavy metal, because of harmful effects on health and the environment, has attracted a lot of attention. the main sources of cadmium emissions are the environment, the waste of electroplating, melting, alloyed manufacturing, pigments, plastics, batteries, extraction and refining processes. this metal easily accumulates in different machines of people...

A study was carried out to find out efficiency of rice bran in removal of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium from bisolute system. The different experimental conditions such as temperature, adsorbent amount, adsorbent particle size and concentration were studied. The results showed that 100% removal was achieved for both lead and cadmium by using rice bran at 300C, contact time 100-140 minut...

Toxic heavy metals, such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are widely used in industry and their accumulation in the living tissues may cause serious health problems and ecological hazards. Twenty four moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from saline environments of Iran were used to study their ability to bioremediation of lead and cadmium. Amongst them, a Gram-negative rod shaped bacterium, de...

background and purpose: cadmium is hazardous and non-biodegradable material entering the food chain. in this paper, the removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions by sunflower powder (the natural biosorbent) was investigated. materials and methods: the experiments were performed in a batch system. the effect of parameters such as contact time, ph, cadmium concentration and adsorbent dose were ev...

Background: Heavy metals, even at low concentrations, are harmful to human health and environment. Cadmium as a heavy metal is highly toxic and can cause serious threat to living organisms. This research was designed to evaluate the adsorption potential of modified magnetic iron nanoparticles by 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol ligand for the removal of cadmium ions from water solu...

Lentinus edodes, a functional food, was evaluated as a potential antidote for adsorption/removal of cadmium ion from simulated gastrointestinal fluids. An adsorption/removal capacity of 65.12 mg/g was achieved by L. edodes in solutions with a pH ranging from 2.5 to 6.0, while little if any adsorption was observed in solutions with a pH under 2.5. In solutions with pH 6.0, 84% of the cadmium ads...
