background: lead (pb) is a heavy metal that is widely utilized in industries. it contaminates soil and groundwater. its non-biodegradability, severe toxicity, carcinogenicity, ability to accumulate in nature and contaminate groundwater and surface water make this toxic heavy metal extremely dangerous to living beings and the environment. therefore, technical and economic methods of removing pb ...

background: heavy metals have been recognized as harmful environmental pollutant known to produce highly toxic effects on different organs and systems of both humans and animals. the aim of this paper is to evaluate the adsorption potential of chitosan for the removal of pb(ii), fe(ii) and cu(ii) ions from aqueous solutions. methods: this study was conducted in laboratory scale. in this paper c...

the interaction between some heavy metal ions such as of pb(ii), cd(ii) and cu(ii) ions from aqueous solution adsorbed by single walled carbon nanotube (swcnts) and carboxylate group functionalized single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt-cooh) surfaces were studied by atomic absorption spectroscopy. the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of ion, ionic strength and temperature on the...

Hydrothermal and non-hydrothermal spherical TiO2 nanoporous with crystalline framework were prepared by sol-gel method. The Crystalline structures, morphologies and surface texturing of materials were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The Hydrothermal spherical TiO2 nanoporous was found to have a narrow and strong p...

salicylic acid-formaldehyde-m-cresol (sfm) terpolymer had been synthesized in dmf media by conventional method. the resulting resin had been characterized by ftir spectra, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. the morphology of sfm resin had been studied by sem and optical photograph. various parameters like rate of equilibration, effect of ph on ion exchange capacity and effect of concentr...

   In this study, cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS NPs) were prepared, characterized and used as a new adsorbent for simultaneous removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Using a batch adsorption method, the effects of solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and temperature were studied and optimized. Removal efficiencies, higher than 98% were obtained for both the met...

The potential of Bread Fruit (artocarpus altilis)Seed Husk (BFSH) as low-cost biosorbent for the removal of Pb (II), Zn (II) and Co (II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorbent was characterized by the Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR)spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The batch methodology was utilized to dete...

Interaction of Pb(II) ion with modified banana shell (MBS) and banana shell (BS) during adsorption fromaqueous solution were investigated. Batch experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of contact time,pH, and IDMID ion concentration on adsorption efficiency. The favorable pll for maxim= Pb(II) adsorptionwas at 5.0. For the investigated IMOI) concentrations (10-80 mph), maximum ad...
