Objective(s): Lead is a very strong poison in the environment. Lead toxicity can be affected on the human body and caused disease. Therefore, the design of lead sorbent can be had the great help to the medical field. In this work, the nanohydroxyapatite (n-HA) was used for removal of lead from aqueous solution. Then, polycaprolactone (PCL) nanocomposite was modified with n-HA by simple preparat...

Sorption systems are a prevalent technology in the field of environmental engineering for treating waters contaminated with organic and/or inorganic compounds. Examples of such contaminants include taste and odor, hardness, disinfection byproduct precursors, and arsenic. The primary operating costs for these sorption systems lie in sorbent replacement. Different column arrangements and the use ...

in this study, a bacterial species which could remove lead from wastewater was isolated from lead contaminated soil prepared in the laboratory. based on the biochemical and morphological characterization the bacteria were identified as brevundimonas vesicularis. the biosorption potentiel of powdered dry biomass of b. vesicularis was investigated by batch adsorption experiments. it was found tha...

Steam hydration has been proposed as a suitable technique for improving the performance of CaO as a regenerable sorbent in CO2 capture systems. New hydration experiments conducted in this study, confirm the reported improvements in the capacity of sorbents to carry CO2. An examination of the textural properties of the sorbent after hydration and mild calcination revealed a large increase in the...

Porous alumosilicate aggregate, namely perlite, was used as an alternative material in wastewater treatments for the selective removal of ionic pollutants such as lead which is present in industrial wastewaters and toxic at relatively low concentrations. Metal retention was investigated by single metals and multispecies equilibrium isotherms (batch system) and by carrying out dynamic (column) e...

A simple, reliable and rapid method for preconcentration and modification of silica gel with Isopropyl 2-[(isopropoxy carbothioyl)disulfanyl]ethanethioate(IIDE) in order to prepare an effective sorbent for the preconcentration and determination of lead. The sorption capacity of Isopropyl 2[(isopropoxy carbothioyl)disulfanyl]ethanethioate(IIDE)-modified silica-gel (IIDE MS) was 82.34 mg.g  -1 a...

A novel Pb(II) ion imprinted polymer coated on magnetic mesoporous silica was synthesised and characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), elemental analysis (CHN) and low angle X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The application of this sorbent was investigated in preconcentration and determination of low concentrations of lead io...
