Cadmium

Heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium and manganese are toxic priority pollutants that commonly interfere with the beneficial use of wastewater for irrigation and industrial applications. The sorption of cadmium, chromium and manganese from aqueous solutions onto natural sepiolite has been studied.

The “1st South-Eastern European Interlaboratory Study WATER ANALYSIS-2003” was organized in the period of November 2003 to February 2004, on the basis of European and international experiences. The total of 38 laboratories took part in “WATER ANALYSIS-2003”. Three laboratories were from Greece, one

This study investigates the influence of widely ranged soil cadmium and nickel content on the biomass quantity and quality produced by Arundo donax L. (giant reed). The aim was to determine whether giant reed is hypertolerant to these heavy metals and therefore could exploit polluted sites, which co

In this work two distinct (flocculent and non-flocculent) yeast wastes from Portuguese breweries were used for the selective removal of Cu2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ from aqueous solutions. One of the goals was to establish both the pH profiles for the removal of each metal ion (1.0 mM) and the effect on the
