background and aims: nowadays heavy metals are the environmental priority pollutants and are becoming as the most serious environmental problems. in recent years removing those from diverse industrial effluents and metal cleaning have been studied. the aim of the present study was to investigate the different methods for cooper removal of cooper ions from industrial wastewater. methods: this st...

background and aims: the removing of (potential) toxic heavy metal ions from sewage, especially in industrial and mining waste effluents, has been widely studied in recent years. the aim of present study was to investigate the various methods for lead removal of lead ions from industrial wastewater. methods: this study was a review research. data were collected through different databases in va...

the removal of copper (ii), zinc (ii), and chromium (iii) from wastewater by carrot residues(cr) was investigated to evaluate cation exchange capacity. the effects of solution ph and co- ions werestudied in batch experiments. adsorption equilibria were initially rapidly established, and then decreasedmarkedly after 10 min. column experiments were carried out in a glass column filled with cr toe...

co-precipitation procedure was applied in order to obtain different kinds of magnetic nanoadsobents for the removal of pb(ii) and cu(ii) toxic metal ions from wastewater samples. prepared nanoadsorbents were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffractometer (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and thermogravimetric analysis (tga). the average sizes of t...

carbon nanotubes (cnts) are a novel material that exhibits good adsorption behavior toward various toxic pollutants in aqueous solution. these adsorbents have a fast adsorption rate and high adsorption efficiency, efficient to remove various pollutants and they are easy to recover and reuse. these features highlight the suitability of cnts for the treatment of water polluted with heavy metal io...

algae have been proven efficient biological vectors for heavy metal uptake. in order to further study their biosorption potential, two strains spirogyra sp. and spirulina sp. have been studied under different initial metal concentrations. in recent years, the biosorption processes have been studied extensively using microbial biomass as biosorbent for heavy metal ions removal. in these studies,...

batch adsorption experiments were performed to study adsorption potential of agricultural residues viz. rice straw, wheat straw and salvinia plant biomass for removal of heavy metals such as cr, ni, and cd. plant materials were used in different combinations. heavy metal removal efficiency was more at low metal concentration (35 mg/l). salvinia biomass possessed higher efficiency for removing h...

in this research the operation of fixed activated sludge system for treatment of wastewater containing heavy metal compounds, by use of fas pilot ,a plaxy glass tank with three section; these section are downward-flow aerated reactor, upward-flow aerated reactor and gravity sediment unit, length and width and height of each part was respectively 15.7cm, 31.5cm , 51.5 cm and feeding with the syn...
