Membrane adsorbents have emerged as powerful and attractive tools for the removal of
hazardous materials such as dyes and heavy metal ions, mainly in trace amounts, from …

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 …

Metals in the hydrological cycle represent a very broad subject covering all parts of the
geological cycle. The present version of this book, therefore, would not have been possible …

Present study deals with the adsorption of phenol on carbon rich bagasse fly ash (BFA) and
activated carbon-commercial grade (ACC) and laboratory grade (ACL). BFA is a solid waste …

The removal performance and the selectivity sequence of mixed metal ions (Co2+, Cr3+,
Cu2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+) in aqueous solution were investigated by adsorption process on pure …

Soil chemists have long-recognized that knowledge of the elemental composition of soils is
generally of little use in assessing the availability of these elements to plants. An obvious …

Fixation of heavy metal ions (Cd (II) and Pb (II)) onto sawdust of Pinus sylvestris is presented
in this paper. Batch experiments were conducted to study the main parameters such as …

The present study proposed the use of meranti sawdust in the removal of Cu (II), Cr (III), Ni
(II) and Pb (II) ions from synthetic aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption studies showed that …

The present study deals with the characterization of low-cost rice husk ash (RHA) for its
various physico-chemical properties and adsorption characteristics of metal ions. The …

The ability of fruit peel of orange to remove Zn, Ni, Cu, Pb and Cr from aqueous solution by
adsorption was studied. The adsorption was in the order of Ni (II)> Cu (II)> Pb (II)> Zn (II)> Cr …
