several factors effect on sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in soil. co-existence of metals and organic matter of soil are among important affecting factors on sorptive behavior of pahs. this research investigated the effect of organic matter content and heavy metals (lead, nickel and zinc), on sorption of phenanthrene onto kaolinite. for this purpose, sorption of the organic ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), abundant in mixed contaminant sites, often coexist with heavy metals. The fate and remediation of PAHs depend heavily on the sorption and desorption behavior of these contaminants. The sorption behavior can in turn be highly affected by certain soil components and properties, such as soil organic matter (SOM) and the presence of heavy metals. Through rev...

Ultramafic rocks of the ophiolitic complexes are prone to alteration and degradation, and therefore, ease of mobility of heavy metals such as nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), lead (Pb), and vanadium (V), resulting in environmental hazards. The ultramafic rocks of the ophiolitic realm of Kurdistan province, west of Iran, show field and compositional evidence for such hazardous conditions...

Predicting the mobility of heavy metals in soils requires models that accurately describe metal adsorption in the presence of competing cations. They should also be easily adjustable to specific soil materials and applicable in reactive transport codes. In this study, Cd adsorption to an acidic soil material was investigated over a wide concentration range (10(-8) to 10(-2) M CdCl2) in the pres...

The programs of managing waste materials in developing countries are often unsatisfactory and the unreasonable disposal of waste is a major issue in the worldwide. The main aim of the current study is to: Assess the applicability of Rumex crispus L. in removing heavy metals from the contaminated wastewater effluent form Pharmaceutical laboratories by bio-adsorption method. The dried R. crispus ...

Open cell polyurethanes (PUF) find wide range of applications as good column materials for the concentration and removal of both organic and inorganic pollutants because of their high efficiency for sorption of various ionic and neutral materials. Ammonium pyrrolidine (APDC) loaded PUF were found to ct as good sorption materials which can be applied to develop commercially viable and highly eff...

Heavy metals are toxic soil pollutants that are retarded in soils by sorption at the solid phase. At a small scale (of a soil sample), the sorption process can be observed and quantified using sorption isotherms. However, most environmental problems have to be treated and solved at large scales (e.g., a field scale). At the field scale, heavy metal sorption isotherms are commonly highly variabl...
