Peat has been investigated by several researchers as a sorbent for the capture of dissolved
metals from wastestreams. Besides being plentiful and inexpensive, peat possesses several …

Phytoremediation offers owners and managers of metal-contaminated sites an innovative
and cost-effective option to address recalcitrant environmental contaminants. The use of …

The occurrence and the fate of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Mn, Cu, Zn, Fe and Ni) during the
wastewater treatment process were investigated in the wastewater treatment plant (WTP) of …

Humic Acid is a natural polymer with high functionality which is omnipresent in Nature, but
was up to now hardly considered as an object of polymer synthesis. We review the known …

A comprehensive literature review has been carried out on the sorption of copper ions onto
various biosorbents. Extensive research has been carried out using peat as a sorbent and …

The adsorption of three heavy metal ions by pine bark was studied. The study was divided
into two parts; single component adsorption of the metals Cu2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ and bisolute …

An ensemble of equilibrium sorption techniques was combined to study the influence of
ionic radius on the sorption characteristics of Al3+, Co2+ and Ag+ by fluted pumpkin waste …

The lead biosorption capacity of a Streptomyces rimosus biomass treated with NaOH (0.1 M)
was studied in the batch mode. After pretreatment of biomass at the ambient temperature …

The functionalized mesoporous silica based meso-adsorbent was developed for ultra-trace
Cu (II) detection and removal from wastewater. The meso-adsorbent was fabricated by direct …

The effects of humic acids (HAs) extracted from two different organic materials on the
distribution of heavy metals and on organic-C mineralisation in two contaminated soils were …
