Pollution due to heavy metals is currently a serious problems affecting water bodies. The
removal of heavy metals is of great concern due to their toxicity at trace levels and …

In last a few decades, significant improvements were made in both efficiency and economy
for removal of heavy metals and metalloid (arsenic) from water using adsorbents. But less …

Polymers derived from plant and animal sources are of great interest in wastewater
remediation due to their cost-effectiveness and renewable adsorption capabilities, one such …

Heavy metal remediation of aqueous streams is of special concern due to recalcitrant and
persistency of heavy metals in environment. Conventional treatment technologies for the …

Lignocellulosic biomass is most abundant, ecofriendly and sustainable material on this
green planet which has received great attention due to exhaustion of petroleum reserves …

During the last two decades, extensive attention has been paid on the management of
environmental pollution causal by hazardous materials such as heavy metals …

Waste materials from industries such as food processing may act as cost effective and
efficient biosorbents to remove toxic contaminants from wastewater. This study aimed to …

The sorption of Cd (II) from aqueous solution by rice husk, a surplus agricultural byproduct
was investigated. Some simple and low-cost chemical modifications resulted in increasing …

A specific type of zeolite, synthesized from coal fly ash, was used in our batch adsorption
experiments in order to adsorb Cd (II) ions from aqueous solution. Solid-state conversion of …

Adsorption behaviour of Ni (II), Zn (II), Cd (II) and Cr (VI) on untreated and phosphate-treated
rice husk (PRH) showed that adsorption of Ni (II) and Cd (II) was greater when PRH was …
