Rapid industrialization leads to increased wastewater discharge encompassing hexavalent
chromium (Cr (VI)), which leads to serious environmental problems of toxicity and potential …

Chromium is a heavy metal of commercial importance, thus significant amounts are released
in wastewaters. Chromium in wastewaters and in the aquatic environment is primarily …

Abstract Magnetic magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) nanoparticles synthesized by chemical co-
precipitation were characterized using XRD, TEM, SEM-EDX, FT-IR, ED-XRF, PPMS, point …

In small quantities, certain heavy metals are nutritionally essential for a healthy life. The
heavy metals linked most often to human poisoning are lead, mercury, arsenic and …

Superparamagnetic maghemite (γ-Fe 2 O 3) nanoparticles of controllable morphology were
successfully synthesized using a flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) technique. Their physico …

The present study was aimed to assess the ability of Bacillus sp. JDM-2-1 and
Staphylococcus capitis to reduce hexavalent chromium into its trivalent form. Bacillus sp …

This study aimed to investigate the performance of a magnetic nano-biocomposite, chitosan
conjugated magnetite nanoparticle (CH-MNP), for the removal of lead ions. The magnetite …

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) through a ureolytic pathway is a process that
promotes calcite precipitation as a result of the urease enzymatic activity of several …

Free-living microorganisms may become suitable models for recovery of non-essential and
essential heavy metals from wastewater bodies and soils by using and enhancing their …

Aquatic environments often receive wastewater containing pollutants such as antibiotics and
heavy metals from hospital sewage, as well as contaminants from soil. The presence of …
