Introduction and purpose: Phenol is one of the common pollutants found in many industrial effluents , which affects the environment and human health due to its special features like high toxicity and carcinogenic properties. The use of adsorbents is one of the most effective strategies for the  removal of phenol. In this study, we investigated the efficiency of Citrullu...

Background and Objectives: The contamination of nitrate (NO3−) in groundwater resources causes two adverse health effects: induction of “blue-baby syndrome” (methemoglobinemia), especially in infants, and the potential formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. The aim of this research is to investigate nitrate removal from groundwater using alumina nanoparticles and to determine the adsorption is...

Background: Releasing of heavy metals in the environment caused by industrialization and urban, is a concern worldwide. Cadmium ion is toxic contaminants for Humans, Animals and plants that the maximum allowable concentration in water (0.005 mg/l) is defined by WHO. Different methods for removing heavy metals have been studied. In recent years, the use of low-cost adsorbent for removal of these...

Background and Objective: Phenol presence in water and wastewater is interesting because of its stability in environment and health problems. Therefore, it must be removed for water pollution prevention. The aim of this study was to evaluate phenol adsorption from aqueous solutions using walnut green hull. Materials and Methods: This was an experimental study in which walnut green hull was used...

Background and Objective: Chromium (Cr6+) is a heavy metal which is present in industries sewages likecladding, mining, and in various concentrations. Cr6+ compared with Cr3+ is so toxic, carcinogenic,and mutagenic. Thus the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of 3 types of grape seeds in adsorbing Cr6+ from aqueous solutions and determining its isotherms and kinetics. Materials...

Abstract Introduction: Increasing environmental pollution by heavy metals caused serious concerns due to carcinogenic properties, their biological accumulation and inseparability.  Nickel was one of the most common pollutants priority in the environment that its elimination is very important. There is several methods to remove and  isolation heavy metal ions from aqueous soluti...
