background and aims: from the past studies, it has been proved that consumption of heavy metals by humans may cause several chronicle problems like cancer, kidney and liver damage, high blood pressure and low blood pressure problems and etc. so, it has become very crucial to remove these heavy metals from industrial wastewater. the aim of this study was to find out a low cost and easy available...

The feasibility of using ion-exchange resins to separate cadmium from tellurium in acidic solutions of the two metals was investigated. We studied the competitive adsorption of cadmium and tellurium in such resins under varying acid strengths and contact time. We found that low sulfuric acid strength (i.e., 0.5 M) was most effective in removing cadmium from solutions. Different ion-exchange res...

Cadmium is a transition metal ion that is highly toxic in biological systems. Although relatively rare in the Earth's crust, anthropogenic release of cadmium since industrialization has increased biogeochemical cycling and the abundance of the ion in the biosphere. Despite this, the molecular basis of its toxicity remains unclear. Here we combine metal-accumulation assays, high-resolution struc...

introduction: cadmium is a heavy metal with high toxicity and is best known as a carcinogen element. for protecting human health and environment it is necessary to remove excess cadmium from industrial wastewater before discharging it to surface and ground water. in this study the efficiency of zinc oxides nanoparticles in cadmium removal from aqueous solution was evaluated. methods: this is a ...

this study deals with the uptake of cd2+ and  mn2+ ions from contaminated water using two iranian natural clinoptilolite-rich tuffs from meyaneh (z-m), and semnan (z-s) regions , and a synthetic zeolite-p from z-m sample (z-p) under static (batch operation) and dynamic (column operation) conditions. to investigate the selectivity of the zeolites toward cd2+ and mn2+ cations, the ion exchange is...

This study deals with the removal of cadmium (II) from cadmium plating wast water by chemical precipitation in shape of white crystalline precipitate, using oxalic acid o,5M as chemical reagent.It was studied the influence of pH, dose of reagent, temperature and also the influenceof initial concentration of cadmium cation.The efficiency of process was expressed in percentage for all the experim...

A combination of ion exchange and membrane extraction successfully recovered cadmium and cyanide from simulated cadmium-cyanide rinsewaters. The ion exchange loading was most effective at cyanidetocadmium molar ratios of 4:l or less; when the molar ratio exceeded 4:1, cadmiumcyanlde complexes caused a chromatographic displacement of free cyanide from the resin. Cyanide-to-cadmium molar ratios i...
