The current study was designed to remove Lead, Copper and Zinc from industrial wastewater using Lettuce leaves (Lactuca sativa) within three forms (fresh, dried and powdered) under some environmental factors such as pH, temperature and contact time. Current data show that Lettuce leaves are capable of removing Lead, Copper and Zinc ions at significant capacity. Furthermore, the powder of Lettuce leaves had highest capability in removing all metal ions. The highest capacity was for Lead then Copper and finally Zinc. However, some examined factors were found to have significant impacts upon bioremoval capacity of studied ions, where best biosorption capacity was found at pH 4, at temperature 50º C and contact time of 1 hour.

In order to explore new ways to detect and remove heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater, the first-principles method based on density functional theory has been used to investigate the performance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in adsorbing divalent heavy metal ions which include Zn[Formula: see text], Cu[Formula: see text], Pb[Formula: see text] and Sn[Formula: see text]. Results show that the adsorption of Zn[Formula: see text] on CNTs is weak and only physical adsorption forms between them. However, for Cu[Formula: see text], Pb[Formula: see text] and Sn[Formula: see text], the final adsorption distance with CNTs is greatly decreased, and the adsorption energy and charge transfer amount with CNTs are significantly increased. In addition, the charge density of Cu[Formula: see text], Pb[Formula: see text] and Sn[Formula: see text] overlaps effectively with that of CNTs. These indicate the formation of strong chemisorption between these ions and CNTs. Therefore, CNTs could be used as a sensing material to detect and remove Cu[Formula: see text], Pb[Formula: see text] and Sn[Formula: see text] from wastewater. The research provides theoretical guidance for the application of CNTs in heavy metal ions treatment.

Bioremediation is an effective process for the removal and recovery of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this study, red algae Porphyra leucosticta was examined to remove Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions from wastewater through biological enrichment and biological precipitation. The experimental parameters that affect the bioremediation process such as pH, contact time and biomass dosage were studied. The maximum bioremediation capacity of metal ions was 31.45 mg/g for Cd(II) and 36.63 mg/g for Pb(II) at biomass dosage 15 g/L, pH 8.0 and contact time 120 minutes containing initial 10.0 mg/L of Cd(II) and 10.0 mg/L of Pb(II) solution. Red algae Porphyra leucosticta biomass was efficient at removing metal ions of 10.0 mg/L of Cd(II) and 10.0 mg/L of Pb(II) solution with bioremediation efficiency of 70% for Cd(II) and 90% for Pb(II) in optimal conditions. At the same time, the removal capacity for real industrial effluent was gained at 75% for 7.6 mg/L Cd(II) and 95% for 8.9 mg/L Pb(II). In conclusion, it is demonstrated that red algae Porphyra leucosticta is a promising, efficient, cheap and biodegradable sorbent biomaterial for reducing heavy metal pollution in the environment and wastewater.

The effect of Cu2+, Ag+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Co2+ on alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isolated from germinating pea seeds was examined. The enzyme is inhibited approximately to the same degree if incubated 5 to 30 min with Ag+, Cu2+, and Cd2+; the same degree of inhibition can be brought about by zinc ions only if concentration by one order higher (10-4M) is used. Co2+-ions do not inhibit pea alcohol dehydrogenase even at 10-3M concentration. NAD and Zn2+ decrease the inhibitory effect of Cd2+ yet not the effect of Cu2+ or Ag+. The differences in the mechanism of action of individual heavy metal ions on plant ADH are discussed.

This study aimed to synthesize a new resin through immobilization of the 4,4′-((1Z,11Z)-2,5,8,11-tetraazadodeca-1,8-diene-1,11-diyl)diphenol (TRA) onto silica gel modified (Si-CPTS) with 3-chloropropyltrimethoxy silane (CPTS) and its application for the removal of chromium(VI) ions from aqueous solution as well as from industrial wastewater. The same applications were also made for industrial wastewater vapor. The objective purpose of this work was to investigate the influences of concentration, temperature, amount of metal ions, contact time and pH to sorption on the surface modified by TRA (Si-TRA). The newly synthesized Si-TRA is characterized with scanning electron microscope and elemental analysis and Cr(VI) heavy metal ions were used as sorbate. The sorption of Cr(VI) ion was evaluated by using batch methods. The value of adsorption of Cr(VI) ion was detected with an atomic absorption spectrometer. The maximum adsorption capacities and isotherm parameters were calculated from the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm equations. Thermodynamic parameters such as free energy (ΔG°), entropy (ΔS°), and enthalpy (ΔH°) were also calculated from the sorption results. The modified structure used as adsorbent was successfully employed in the removal of Cr(VI) ions from the samples of industrial wastewater.

Adsorption Capability

This study demonstrates a successful processing and utilization of banana rachis cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) dispersed clay composite filter which is capable of adsorbing dye and heavy metal ions namely Pb(II) and Cr(III) from industrial wastewater. The composite of different compositions was prepared by dispersing the cellulose nanocrystals, obtained by acid hydrolysis of banana rachis fibres, within the tri-ethyl amine treated clay. The CNC and treated clay were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. Industrial wastewater containing a basic yellow2 dye and two heavy metal ions, Pb(II) and Cr(III), was passed through the prepared filters set in a column. The dye and metal ions adsorption capability of the filters were analyzed by determining the dye and metal ions concentration into the water before and after passing through the composite filter. The concentration of dye and metal ions in water was determined by a UV-visible spectrophotometer and an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, respectively. It was found that the dye adsorption capacity of the composite filters was about 50 mg per gram of composite as well as Pb(II) and Cr(III) ions adsorption capacities of the composite filters were ˃10.0 mg and ˃12.4 mg respectively per gram of the composite when CNC content in the composite was ˃30 wt.%. It was also found that the metal ions adsorption capability of the composite filter was improved with increasing CNC content in the composites.
