Background: Sediments are inseparable fractions of wetland ecosystems that work as a his-torical archive in the process of recording heavy metal aggregation changes. This study was carried out for assessing Co, Ni, and Zn in sediment samples of Mighan Wetland using geo-accumulation index in 2013. Methods:The sediment samples were taken from 11 stations. The samples were subjected to bulk dige...

This paper is reporting the data of a preliminary study on heavy metals distribution in fluid and solid phases involved dry classified aluminium hydroxide production through Bayer process. For released phases, main source contamination bauxite its mineralogical soluble or insoluble alkaline solution. It was shown that predominant way to transfer contaminating elements particles occlusion very f...

Metals such as antimony, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc can be highly relevant pollutants in stormwater runoff from traffic areas because of their occurrence, toxicity, and non-degradability. Long-term measurements of their concentrations, the corresponding water volumes, the catchment areas, and the traffic volumes can be used to calculate specific emission loads and annual ...

Due to the fish are often at the top of the aquatic food chain and may accumulate large amounts of heavy metals from the water, this study was conducted to determine of Cd, Cr, Pb and Ni contents in the muscle of imported tilapia fish marketed in the city of Hamedan in 2017. In so doing, totally, 27 muscle samples from nine different brands of tilapia fish were randomly collected from the marke...

Lead is one of the four heavy metals that has a profound damaging effects on human health. In the recent past there has been an increasing global concern for development of sustainable bioremediation technologies for detoxification of lead contaminant. Present investigation highlights for lead biosorption by a newly isolated novel bacterial species; Achromobacter sp. TL-3 strain, isolated from ...

The objective of this research was to modify an extended detention basin to provide batch treatment of stormwater runoff. An automated valve/controller was developed and placed on the outlet of a detention basin in Austin, Texas, which allowed the water quality volume to be retained in the basin for a preset length of time. The influent and effluent of the modified basin were monitored for tota...

Copper sulphide rich leach residue from nickel refining is a marketable product and may be treated by smelting. In looking for another technology its valorisation, the raw material was characterised suitability of medium-temperature sulphate-based pressure leaching tested this purpose. The contained 58% copper carried in covellite oxides. Using favourable conditions, about two hours needed comp...

Background: It has long been recognized that the intake of foods contaminated with chemicals, especially heavy metals can give rise to acute intoxications. The toxic properties of heavy metals are due to their long biological half-lives, as well as non-biodegradable and persistent composition. Considering the importance of the cereal products in the human diet, the present investigation was car...
