The article is a continuation of a series of scientific works of the authors on the study of the influence of microwave irradiation on the sorption parameters of natural sorbents in the processes of purification of natural and wastewater. Using the atomic absorption method, the sorption ability of the natural sorbent clinoptilolite (zeolite type of structure) to remove Copper, Zinc and Nickel ions from aqueous solutions was studied. It was found that different variants of microwave activation of this mineral (series «Nat», «Stim» and «DIR») lead to a significant increase in the sorption capacity of clinoptilolite by ions of these heavy metals. It is shown that in comparison with similar activation schemes of another natural sorbent of bentonite (clay material), the improvement of sorption parameters of clinoptilolite with respect to heavy metals is not as significant as in the case of bentonite. It is confirmed that in almost all solutions the deposition of heavy metals on clinoptilolite occurs according to the Langmuir or Langmuir-Freundlich model. A similar situation was observed in previous works of the authors on the deposition of heavy metals on bentonite. Using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectroscopy and X-ray phase analysis, it was found that the deposition of heavy metals on both bentonite and clinoptilolite occurs not only in the form of monolayers of hydrated ions in sorbent micropores (classical model), but also in the form of individual compounds. metals. It has been suggested that the action of microwaves on these sorbents in aqueous solutions improves the structure of their micropores and affects the surface charge, so some parts of the adsorbent become active centers of crystallization of new phases - heavy metal compounds. During adsorption of heavy metal by natural bentonite or clinoptilolite, low-energy adsorption centers predominate, whereas in the case of microwave-irradiated samples of these sorbents, the experimental data correspond to a symmetric quasi-Gaussian distribution of adsorption energy where low- and high-energy regions are present. This fact indicates that electromagnetic treatment stimulates the formation of new adsorption centers.

In the experiment with marbled crayfishProcambarusvirginalis(Lyko, 2017), chronic effects of various concentrations of heavy metal ions on the physiological state and enzyme activity were investigated. The obtained results showed that among the investigated heavy metals nickel ions influenced the weight indexes and mortality of crustaceans the most negatively. According to the results of the research, significant changes were noted in the individual biochemical parameters of marbled crayfish under the influence of manganese, lead and nickel ions. The most significant changes in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase were detected in muscle tissues affected by manganese and nickel ions. A significant decrease in the activity of succinate dehydrogenase in muscle of marbled crayfish was determined after the action of heavy metal ions. Investigation of changes in the activity of alkaline phosphatase under the influence of the ions of manganese, lead and nickel has its own characteristics, which indicates certain violations in the tissues of cell membranes. Changes in the activity of enzymes were also reflected in the overall protein content. Changes in these parameters may indicate a rapid biochemical response of crustaceans to the toxic effects of heavy metals.

AbstractThe increase attention in the area of phosphonate metal organic framework is exemplified with a variety of applications and a rich chemistry of these compounds. Water pollution caused by heavy metal ions is a major concern due to their toxicity to many life forms. In order to decrease the heavy metals impact upon the environment various technologies of water treatment such as: chemical sedimentation, ion exchange, redox process are studied. The tendency is to find a versatile and economical method of heavy metals removal from waste waters. Phosphonate metal organic frameworks were obtained by the reaction of Ni(CH3COO)2·4H2O, phosphonic acid (phosphonoacetic (CP), vinyl phosphonic acid (VP) and N,N-bis(phosphonomethyl)glycine (Gly)) in hydrothermal conditions. Coordination polymers synthesized were characterized by FTIR, XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption processes represent a very good alternative for heavy metals removal due to low costs and ease of operation. In the present paper the adsorption performance of the mentioned materials in the removal process of heavy metals from aqueous solutions, was studied using the batch method. The adsorption conditions were investigated by varying the initial pH, contact time and adsorbate initial concentration for chromium metal ions removal from aqueous solutions. It was found that the adsorption efficiency of the studied materials in the removal process of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions is in the following order: Ni-CP<Ni-Gly≤Ni-VP.

Biosorption process is a promising technology for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastes and effluents using low-cost and effective biosorbents. In the present study, adsorption of Pb2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, and Zn2+onto dried biomass of red seaweedKappaphycussp. was investigated as a function of pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration, and temperature. The experimental data were evaluated by four isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich) and four kinetic models (pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and intraparticle diffusion models). The adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic in nature. Functional groups in the biomass involved in metal adsorption process were revealed as carboxylic and sulfonic acids and sulfonate by Fourier transform infrared analysis. A total of nine error functions were applied to validate the models. We strongly suggest the analysis of error functions for validating adsorption isotherm and kinetic models using linear methods. The present work shows that the red seaweedKappaphycussp. can be used as a potentially low-cost biosorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Further study is warranted to evaluate its feasibility for the removal of heavy metals from the real environment.

Abstract Heavy metal contamination in soils had arisen into a more prominent problem as a result of increasing anthropogenic activities like manufacturing, mining, excessive application of agricultural chemicals and inappropriate disposal of wastes. Researchers across the globe had been striving to discover and develop methods to restore the soil back to its original condition with an assortment of remediation techniques that varies from treatment mechanism for various soil and contamination condition. Majority of the existing techniques have drawbacks like high energy consumption, specificity on the site condition, limitations on applicable contaminants, side effects after treatment, and also being uneconomical. More and more researchers are beginning to divert their attention into using organic stabilizers for treatment of soil heavy metal contamination in recent years after learning about its potential after numerous research showed promising reduction on the bioavailability and mobility of heavy metals. Due the lack of study on liquid-form organic stabilizers, the authors dedicated this research into implementing plant extract (TM) in the immobilization of heavy metals in soil. For comparison purpose, sodium alginate (SA), a proven organic stabilizer had been incorporated into the experiment to evaluate the performance of plant extract to immobilize cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and manganese (Mn) from the metal-spiked soil samples in this research. The study findings suggested that the SA increased the unstable fractions, namely the exchangeable and carbonate fractions, of Cd relative to the untreated soil sample by 10.3 % to 5.2. On the other hand, the TM yields a result of 0.1 % to 1.1 % reduction of the unstable Cd. For the unstable Cr, both SA and TM decreased the concentration levels in the soil by 2.5 % to 8.0 % and 6.1 % to 7.9 % respectively. The results for Mn showed that the SA is able to decrease the concentration of its unstable fractions by 2.0 % to 7.5 % while the TM increases the concentration by 11.7 % to 1.5 %. In general, lower concentration of heavy metals in the unstable fractions was detected as the dosage of soil stabilizers applied increases. The application of soil stabilizers at 10 % weight percentage yields the lowest reading of unstable heavy metals in comparison with samples with lower dosage.

To develop the extraction media for Cd and Ni from aqueous solutions, magnetic beads containing IDA group with strong attraction to heavy metals were produced using the activating agents Epichlorhydrin (Ep) and 1,4-Butanedioldiglycidylether (Bu), respectively. Then the beads were agitated at a pH of 6 after being added to Cd and Ni aqueous solutions of various concentrations. It was confirmed that the heavy metals combined with the magnetic beads within a short time through the process. After the process, the magnetic beads were collected with a magnet, and then dissolved in acid for the analysis of heavy metal concentration. The analysis of heavy metals in the acid solution could be analyzed with an AAS (atomic absorption spectrometer). The results showed that the heavy metal extraction efficiency of Bu was relatively higher than that of the Ep. It supported the hypothesis that the relatively longer length of Bu’s spacer made more free positioning possible when the IDA group combined with the heavy metal.

The passive removal of commonly used reactive dye and two heavy metals, from aqueous solutions by inexpensive biomaterial, yeast Rhodotorula muciloginosa biomass, termed biosorption, was studied with respect to pH, initial dye concentration and initial metal ion concentration. The biomass exhibited maximum dye and chromium(VI) uptake at pH 5 and pH 6 for nickel(II) in media containing 50 mg/L heavy metal and 50 mg/L remazol blue. It was found that the highest chromium(VI) removal yields measured were 31.3% for 49.0 mg/l initial chromium(VI) concentrations. The nickel(II) removal yield was 32.5% for 22.3 mg/L. Higher R. Blue removal yields were obtained, such as 77.1% for 117.5 mg/L. The maximum dye biosorption yield was investigated in medium with a constant dye (∼50 mg/L) and increasing heavy metal concentration. In the medium with 48.8, 103.8 and 151.8 mg/L chromium(VI) and constant dye concentration, the maximum chromium(VI) biosorption was 7.4, 9.3 and 17.1%, whereas the maximum dye biosorption was 61.6, 56.6 and 55.9%. The maximum nickel(II) biosorptions in the medium with dye were 38.1, 22.1 and 8.8% at 23.7, 37.7 and 60.1 mg/L nickel(II) concentrations. In these media, dye biosorptions were 93.9, 86.4 and 93.3%, respectively.
