The focus of this paper is to test the ability of a commercially available nanofiltration membrane (AFC 80) to remove polluting and toxic Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions in order to meet the USEPA guidelines regarding the toxicity threshold limits. The investigation has been conducted for aqueous

Many industrial wastewater streams contain toxic metal cations, for example, Ni2+, Zn2+, etc. or their oxyanions in up to few hundred mg/dm3, which must be removed before water recycling or discharging directly into surface waters. The conventional processes to treat this kind of wastewater are, e.g

Heavy metals, such as, cadmium, lead, nickel and zinc can be removed from water using sorbents. The rate and extent of removal may be enhanced by choice of appropriate sorbents. In this study heavy metal sorption was studied on indigenously synthesized carbon nanomaterials (CNMs). Two CNMs differing

Activated carbon was prepared from hazelnut husks with zinc chloride activation at 973 K in nitrogen atmosphere. BET surface area of the activated carbon was found 1092 m2g!1. The removal of Cu (II) and Pb (II) ions from aqueous solutions was studied by batch method. The effects of initial pH, conta

Biosorption experiments were performed using different pretreated activated sludge as bioadsorbent for Cu2+, Cd and Ni2+. Pretreatment with NaOH was found to improve the adsorption capacity of the sludge where as treatment with HCl reduces it. The treated and untreated sludge show great affinity tow

Recently because of increasing of environmental consciousness and demands, several discussions about the preservation of natural resources have led to more efforts concerning materials of good selectivity and high sorption capacity [1]. We have developed new composite materials with improved adsorpt

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the performance of an aromatic polyamide (ES 20) ultra-lowpressure reverse osmosis membrane (ULPROM) for separating divalent (Cu2+, Ni2+) and hexavalent (Cr6+) heavy metals from bulk solution. The influence of operating pressure, feed concentratio
