Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTeawaste as An Adsorbent for Heavy Metal Removal from Industrial WastewatersAmir Hossein Mahvi, Dariush Naghipour, Forugh Vaezi, Shahrokh NazmaraWater used in industries creates a wastewater that has a potential hazard for our environment because of introducing various contaminants such as heavy metals into soil and water resources. In this study, removal of cadmium, lead and nickel from industrial wastewaters has been investigated by using teawaste as a natural adsorbent. The research is a bench scale experimental type and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 9,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRemoval of Cadmium, Copper, Lead and Nickel from Aqueous Solution by White, Yellow and Red United Arab Emirates SandL. Pappalardo, F. Jumean, N. AbdoProblem statement: To remove toxic heavy metal ions from wastewater using local sand as a low cost adsorbent. Approach: Removal efficiency of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous solution by white, yellow and red UAE sand was investigated at 25.0°C using the methods of batch equilibrium adsorption and column filtration. In each case, a mixture containing 20 ppm of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,604 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of a Multi-Metal Resistant Bacillus cereus Strain TWSL_5 and it’s Bioremediation Potential for Cr, Pb, Zn and FeWeerasingha Mudiyanselage Nilmini Hasintha Kumari, Naduviladath Vishvanath Chandrasekharan, Champika Dilrukshi WijayarathnaAn effluent sample collected from a textile dyeing factory was screened to isolate metal resistant endogenous bacteria using standard microbiology techniques. A bacterium with the highest metal resistance was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the bacterial genome was screened for any possible metal resistant genes using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The bioremoval ability of the isolate was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2021 · 6,448 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation of Heavy Metals by using Industrial Waste by Products in Acid Mine DrainageNuur Hani Mohammed, Mustapha Atta, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacubAcid Mine Drainage (AMD) is one of the main important problems being combated today. Laboratory tank experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of industry waste to adsorb and control the mobilization of metals from contaminated acid mine water. The main physical conditions such as pH and treatment performance are displayed. The solution of acid mine were sampled from the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 18 Dec 2017 · 7,345 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Permeable Reactive Barriers to Remediate Heavy Metal-Contaminated Groundwater through a Laboratory Column ExperimentSomean Yin, Gemunu Herath, Sokchhay Heng, Senajith KalpageRecently, groundwater sources are being polluted by various activities such as agriculture, livestock, decentralized wastewater treatment systems and acid rain. Groundwater can also be polluted by landfill leachate, sewage, mine tailings, non-engineered deep well disposal of liquid waste and seepage from industrial waste lagoons. There are many studies reported contaminated groundwater remediation using Permeable Reactive Barrier systems (PRBs) and many … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Mar 2017 · 8,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndustrial Waste-an Economical Approach for Adsorption of Heavy Metals from Ground WaterMargherita Pettinato, Debolina Mukherjee, Silvestro Andreoli et al.A by product from steel industry mainly known as blast furnace slag is a waste product which was tested for the removal of As(III), from ground water. Steel slag is a commercial waste material mainly consisting of SiO2, Al2O3 and CaO, the former two chemicals being major components of zeolites and the latter a major component of Hydroxyapatite (HAP). Arsenic … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2015 · 8,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Nickel and Zinc by Residual SoilsNur ’Aishah Zarime, W. Y. Wan Zuhairi, Sivarama KrishnaSoil has long been utilized as low cost liner material to prevent contamination from leachate to groundwater media. To find a suitable soil material for this purpose is a great challenge. This study describes the potential use of residual soil to functions as engineered clay liner for waste disposal landfill in Malaysia. Three types of residual soils were investigated namely … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Dec 2014 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOPPER STRESS ON CELLULAR CONTENTS AND FATTY ACID PROFILES IN CHLORELLA SPECIESG. Sibi, T.S. Anuraag, Geeta BafilaHigher photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production with rapid growth makes microalgae as potential candidates over other energy crops in many applications. Heavy metals influence the production of secondary metabolites and lipd content of microalgae in particular. A study was conducted using six Chlorella species under heavy metal exposure to evaluate the copper stress on biomass, cellular and lipid contents. Preliminary … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2014 · 7,791 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBONE MEAL AS ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT FOR ACIDIC AND METAL CONTAMINATED ACID MINE DRAINAGE WATER EFFLUENT: LAB SCALECarolyn Payus, Olga David, Moh Pak YanThe typical methods of treatment for acidic and metal contaminated water effluent such as the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) will always focus on either civil engineering methods, such as disposal, excavation, drainage and encapsulation or process based technologies such as effluent washing and treatment. These techniques are not environmental friendly, costly and unsustainable, thus environmental damaging. Nowadays, there is a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2014 · 7,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBACTERIAL ISOLATES OF MARINE COAST AS COMMERCIAL PRODUCER OF PROTEASES. Das, I. Mukherjee, M. Sudarshan et al.The objective of this work was to explore and exploit the extracellular protease secreting marine microbial biodiversity of the eastern coastal region of India.
