Subject:: adsorbents; adsorption; arsenic; cadmium; chitosan; industrial wastewater; lead; magnetism; mercury; pollution; remediation; sorption isotherms; toxicity
Abstract:: ... Environmental pollution by toxic metals causes serious health complications, thus requiring advanced remediation methods for waters and effluents. In particular, chitosan-based magnetic materials have been recently developed to remove metals from aqueous solutions, industrial wastewater and water from lakes and rivers. Here, we review the adsorption of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and ars ...

Abstract:: ... The presence of contaminants in potable water is a cause of worldwide concern. In particular, the presence of metals such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium can affect human health. There is thus a need for advanced techniques of water decontamination. Adsorbents based on cerium dioxide (CeO₂), also named ‘ceria,’ have been used to remove contaminants such as arsenic, fluoride, lead and ...

Abstract:: ... Serious cases of arsenic toxicity of people drinking water have led to the development of water purification methods. For instance, arsenic can be removed from water by adsorption on natural iron oxides. The use of iron oxide from waste could decrease the cost and recycle iron. Here, we studied arsenic removal from contaminated water using iron oxide wastes from a pickling unit of a steel plant. T ...
