Water is prime requirement for surviving of any living beings.  The existence of surface water and groundwater sources are used for domestic, agriculture and industrial purposes in all over the world. Fresh water from both the water sources is highly contaminated in recent years because of rapid population growth, modern agriculture and industrial growth. Among them, contamination of water sour...

The effective removal of dyes from aqueous wastewaters is among the most important issues formany industrialized countries. Removal of Congo Red (CR) dye from aqueous solutions was studiedusing nickel oxide nanoparticles. The operating variables studied were initial pH of solution,adsorbents dosage, temperature and contact time. The morphological information of nickel oxidenanoparticles were ch...

Industrial development and extensive use of heavy metals have led to the problem of environmental pollution. Nickel compounds are toxic to plants and have detrimental effects on their growth. Valerian is a plant used in herbal medicine. Considering the hazards of nickel, various methods have been developed to remove this contaminant from herbs irrigation wastewater, including the common chemica...

recently, the use of biological absorbent in removal of hazardous pollutants such as heavy metals has increased because of the decrease in sludge problems, economical issues, high efficiency and compatibility with the environment. this study was done over the biosorption of nickel by biosolids obtained from the municipal wastewater treatment in a batch reactor. the pretreatment of the biosolids...

Wastewater discharged from metal-finishing processes usually contains nickel, a hazardous substance that is used extensively in the surface finishing industry. In the present study, an acidic solution containing nickel was treated using strong acid cation exchange resin. A continuous lab-scale cation exchange arrangement permitting the assessment of electric current as an enhancement mechanism ...

aims: municipal landfill leachate contains high concentrations of heavy metals, organics, ammonia . t he efficeincy of electrochemically removal of heavy metals from landfill leachate was studied. materials & methods: the leachate was obtained from kahrizak landfill in south of tehran. the experiments were carried out by batch process. the 2liter batch reactor was made of glass. there were eigh...

In this work, the performance of electrocoagulation with aluminum electrodes for simultaneous removal of nickel, copper, zinc and chromium from synthetic aqueous aliquot solutions and actual electroplating wastewater was studied. Parameters affecting the electrocoagulation process, such as initial pH, current density, initial metal ion concentration, COD and contact time were investigated. Best...

Nickel ferrite-polyaniline nanocomposite has been prepared and characterized using different techniques. The prepared nanocomposite is used as an adsorbent for the removal of arsenic from aqueous solution of sodium arsenite. The effect of temperature on the equilibrium adsorption of As(III) from aqueous solution on nanocomposite has been investigated. Effect of pH (2-12), contact time (0-70 min...
