background: the presence of lead in natural waters has become an important issue around the world. lead has been identified as a highly toxic metal that can cause severe environmental and public health problems and its decontamination is of utmost importance. the aim of this work was to evaluate the adsorption of lead (pb(ii)) on waste tea leaves as a cheap purification method. methods: in this...

Many control approaches are used today to prevent the contamination of soils with heavy metals and remove pollution. One these is phytoremediation for on-site treatment pollutants. In phytoremediation, hyperaccumulator plants used, which absorb metals, accumulate at high levels in their tissues, neutralize them after various processes. It was aimed determine effects on plant growth metal accumu...

To overcome the limitations of polymers, such as trade-off relationship between water permeance and solute rejection, well difficulty functionalization, research on nanomaterials is being actively conducted. One representative graphene, which has a two-dimensional shape chemical tunability. Graphene usually used in form graphene oxide treatment field because it advantages high functionality its...

Lead is a major cause of environmental concern for the industries like paint, pesticides, battery, mine, smelting etc. Lead can cause diseases related to kidney, liver, brain and nervous system. Various methods used for lead removal include electro-coagulation, ion exchange, membrane separation and suspended and attached growth biological techniques. In case of electro-coagulation, factors like...

Groundwater makes up an important part of global freshwater resources, though it is often threatened by overuse of natural resources along with abundant production of wastes in modern society. This study aims to investigate the removal of three heavy metals including nickel, cadmium, and lead from groundwater via electrocoagulation, a suitable method for treatment of water-soluble compounds, de...
