In this study, in order to evaluate the migration of heavy metals in enhanced electrokinetic removal，visual minteq was adopted to calculate the species distribution of heavy metals in different pH. Most of the heavy metals except arsenic generated the enrichment near the cathode area. Arsenate always existed as anion such as AsO43-、H2AsO4-、HAsO42-. Near the alkaline area ,the main form of heavy metals were alkali metal hydroxides and seriously restricted the migration and removal of heavy metals. The addition of potassium tetroxalate did not change the species distribution of heavy metals obviously.The nitric acid was more efficient than potassium tetroxalate to condition enhanced electrokinetic removal. Nevertheless ,both of two enhancement still need to be impoved to promote the removal efficiency.

Abstract Removal of heavy metals from the environment is important for living beings. The present work investigates the applicability of the natural and MnO2 - coated zeolite as sorbent for the removal of copper from synthetic solutions. Batch experiments were carried out to identify the influence of initial pH and concentration in the process of adsorption. A maximum removal efficiency of Cu(II) was observed in 10 mg/L for natural (95.6%) and modified (96.4%) zeolite, where the values was almost identical, but at concentration of 500 mg/L was the removal efficiency of modified zeolite three times higher. Based on the correlation factors R2, the Langmuir isotherms better describe the decontamination process than Freundlich. The optimum pH value was set at 5.0.

Abstract The study demonstrates the efficiency of the soil aquifer treatment (SAT) towards removal of heavy metals within electroplating wastewater thereby rendering it suitable for ground water discharge. The unique proposition of this research is to use a combination of soil and adsorbent properties to enhance the remediation of heavy metals such as nickel, copper and zinc. A comparative study through statistical analysis is employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the various SAT systems build using various combinations of SM and SC soil types along with bioadsorbents such as eucalyptus leaves, sawdust and Mosambi peel. Further, the mass balance analysis of heavy metals is carried out to comprehend the course of expulsion. The study, through a statistical approach, endorses that the SAT in conjunction with adsorbent gives much better removal efficiency than the SAT without adsorbent. Additional removal efficiency of 14% to 30% can be achieved with introduction of adsorbents within the SAT system. The optimal removal efficiency of nickel, copper and zinc was observed to be at 87, 98 and 93% respectively when passed through the combination of SM soil with sawdust.

Bio-flocculants produced by Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. were evaluated as flocculating agents for the removal of Cu (II), Pb (II) and Cd (II) from chemical and textile wastewater industries. Both bio-flocculants were very effective for removal of heavy metals at a dosage not exceeding 0.1 mg/ml. However, the removal efficiency of heavy metals was dependant on initial concentration and type of bio-flocculants. 84.0% of Cu2+ and 99.5% of Pb2+ were removed from industrial wastewater using Bacillus sp. Bio-flocculant resulting residual values of 28.5 and 1.13μg/l respectively in the treated effluent. Lower removal efficiencies of 70.4% for Cu2+ and 97.8% for Pb2+ occurred using Pseudomonas sp. bioflocculant. Nevertheless, Pseudomonas sp. bio-flocculant achieved a substantially higher removal efficiency of Cd2+ (93.5%) as compared to 72.9% using Bacillus sp. Based on these results bio-flocculants are considered as a viable alternative for the treatment of industrial wastewater containing heavy metals.

This study reports the use of agro-waste (carob shells) as a precursor for the synthesis of activated carbon by nitric acid activation. The prepared adsorbent was used for the removal of cadmium and cobalt ions from aqueous media. In order to optimize the preparation conditions for the high removal efficiency of heavy metals, the Box-Behnken design was used to correlate activation agent ratio g(HNO3)/g(carbon), reaction time, and activation temperature to the removal efficiency of metals. The experimental result shows that the rise in activation temperature strongly decreases the removal of both metals. This result suggests a low energy demand for the activation of carob shells by HNO3. The sample prepared at optimum conditions was characterized by DRX, SEM, FTIR, and surface groups titrations in order to obtain information on its structural, morphological, and surface properties. It has also been found that equilibrium data are well correlated to the Langmuir model with adsorption capacities of 125.52 and 69.01 mg/g, respectively, for Cd(II) and Co(II).

Removal Of Heavy Metals

The removal of heavy metals in waste pickling acid by iron powder reduction was studied. The effects of reaction time, reaction temperature and dosage of iron powder on the removal efficiency of Zn, Cr, Ni and Pb in waste pickling acid were investigated. The results showed that, the removal rate of Cr tended to be stable after 2 h of reaction under magnetic stirring. After 4 hours, the removal rate of Zn,Ni and Pb tended to be stable. The temperature was increased from 20°C to 90 °C, the removal rates of Ni and Pb could be increased by 9.09% and 11.6%, while the removal rates of Zn and Cr were only increased by 1.15% and 2.85%; Increasing the dosage of iron powder was beneficial to the removal of heavy metals in waste pickling acid, and the combined amount of free acid in the waste acid would affect the removal efficiency of heavy metals. The research results had important guiding significance for the practical application of iron powder reduction method in the heavy metal purification project of waste pickling acid.

Removal Of Heavy Metals

The release of heavy metals into the environment is a worldwide major concern. Different studies have demonstrated that natural agents have a high removal capacity for divalent heavy metal ions. Wood ash is a natural adsorbent and, in comparison with others, has a very low price. In this study, the removal of heavy metals (Pb and Co) from Nippo Battery Industry (TADA, A.P.) effluent was investigated in batch condition. Pb and Co measurement in samples were done with atomic absorption equipment and test methods were adapted from standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater. The effect of pH and the amount of adsorbent was determined and different adsorption isotherms were also obtained. This study shows that the adsorption process follows the adsorption Langmuir isotherm. The amount of wood ash has a great role in the adsorption rate and adsorption rate increased as wood ash increased. In the study, the reactions reached equilibrium in 3 h contact time. The maximum Pb removal efficiency was 96.0% at pH 2 with a contact time of 3 h and 100 g/L wood ash and the maximum Co removal efficiency was 98.9 % at pH 2 with a contact time of 3 h and 100 g/L wood ash. According to the results, wood ash is recommended as a low cost and available adsorbent to remove Pb and Co from municipal and industrial wastewaters.
