Abstract Calcium-loaded low-rank brown coal was used to extract various heavy metals (Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn) from aqueous solutions. The results showed a high efficiency of extraction — almost 99.9% of metals in the concentration range of 3,000–10,000 mg/1 were removed from the solutions. Both the batch and continuous modes of contacting were tested and for the latter, the process of penetration was also studied.

Pb(II) being carcinogenic and one of the heavy metals which always pose a severe threat to human health. Adsorption is a commonly used method for the removal of heavy metal ions as this process possess high efficiency, easy to handle and cost-effective. Iron oxide based nanomaterial were found to be more attractive for the removal of heavy metals from the aqueous solution because of their size, high surface area, and magnetic. Therefore, in this research study, iron oxide nanoparticles modified with tangerine peel extract (T-Fe3O4) and utilized to carry batch adsorption experiments for the removal of lead from aqueous solutions. It was observed that 99% of Pb(II) adsorption removal was achieved with 0.6 g/L of T-Fe3O4 at an initial concentration of metal at 10 ppm and room temperature of 25°C. The adsorption isotherm was found to be monolayer on the homogeneous surface of the adsorbent. Therefore, the green tangerine peel modified iron oxide nanoparticles can be applied for lead removal from water resources for providing clean and hygienic water for a sustainable and healthier life.

Rare earth elements, i.e., lanthanides, are important components of many recently developed technology applications. However, their increasing use in the industrial sector, medicine, and agriculture over the last few decades has provided them with the title of “new pollutants”. Different methods are now applied for the removal of various pollutants from wastewaters, whereby the emphasis is placed on adsorption due to its simplicity, high efficiency, and low cost. In the present study, geopolymers prepared from coal ash were examined regarding their capacity for the adsorption of lanthanides from model solutions. The obtained results indicate the efficient removal of lanthanides by prepared geopolymers, depicting them as effective adsorbents for this group of elements.
