The biodegradable polysaccharide chitosan possesses protonated and natural amino groups at medium pH values and has therefore been used as an adsorbing material for nickel salts in water treatment. Nickel is a problematic heavy metal ion which can cause various diseases and disorders in living organisms. Here, we show the influence of oxyanions (e.g., nitrate and sulfate) to the adsorption of n...

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...

toxicity has occurred in workers exposed to nickel dust or nickel carbonyl formed in refining. increased risk of nasal and lung cancers was linked to occupational nickel exposure before current workplace safety standards were set. activated carbon with nano holes used for removing contaminants in environment. the purpose of this work is preparation a new nano-absorber, gz-baki-tac-ni-88, for th...

Polypyrrole (PPy) conducting polymer prepared by chemical oxidation method using FeCl3.6H2O as an oxidant has exhibited 100% adsorption efficiency for the removal of nickel ions from aqueous solution. At pH 7, 100% nickel absorption was found by the prepared polypyrrole as measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. At both acidic and alkaline solutions, the adsorption efficiency of PPy wa...

The potential of economically cheaper cellulose containing natural materials like rice husk was assessed for nickel adsorption from aqueous solutions. The effects of pH, contact time, sorbent dose, initial metal ion concentration and temperature on the uptake of nickel were studied in batch process. The removal of nickel was dependent on the physico-chemical characteristics of the adsorbent, ad...

Nickel and cadmium usually enter the environment and water resources through wastewater, released by various industries, and may have adverse effects. The current study employs α–Fe2O3 nanoparticles of 20-40 nm in order to remove nickel and cadmium from the wastewater of Saba Battery Company. Also, it investigates the influence of effective parameters on adsorption process, including pH, contac...

This study was focused on nettle ash as an alternative adsorbent for the removal of nickel (II) and cadmium (II) from wastewater. Batch experiments were conducted to determine the factors affecting adsorption of nickel (II) and cadmium (II). The adsorption process is affected by various parameters such as contact time, solution pH and adsorbent dose. The optimum pH required for maximum adsorpti...
