Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLead and Cadmium Availability and Uptake by Rice Plant in Response to Different Biosolids and Inorganic FertilizersSeyed Majid Mousavi, Mohammad Ali Bahmanyar, Hemmatollah PirdashtiProblem Statement: Contents of heavy metals in soil are very important because soil is the first link in the food chain. Approach: But, pay attention to importance the subject, we performed this project to investigate the lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) availability and uptake by rice plant in response to different biosolids Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Vermicompost (VC) and inorganic … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPart I: Removing of Zn(II) from Polluted Water: Determination of Precipitation Limit Of Zn(II) Ion With 2-Hydroxy-1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic AcidFatmir Faiku, Haxhere Faiku, Arben Haziri et al.Problem statement: The goal of this research was to investigate the condition for removing of Zn cation from water, through precipitation method with 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid as ligand. Approach: In this study we examined the precipitation of Zn(II) ion in water solutions of ZnSO4 × 7H2O (1×10-2 and 5×10-3 mol L-1) with 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid (1×10-1-1×10-3 mol L-1) in constant ionic strength … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 6,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Pb(II) on Spent Leaves of Green and Black TeaAntonio Zuorro, Roberto LavecchiaProblem statement: In recent years much attention has been focused on the use of biomass residues as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated waters. Spent tea leaves, an abundantly available material that is currently disposed of as a solid waste, are potentially suitable for such applications. Approach: To provide some information on the adsorption properties … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 9,596 accessesView PDFCite
