The aim of this study is to use the dry fibers of date palm as low-cost biosorbent for the removal of Cd(II), and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solution by fluidized bed column. The effects of many operating conditions such as superficial velocity, static bed height, and initial concentration on the removal efficiency of metal ions were investigated. FTIR analyses clarified that hydroxyl, amine and carboxyl groups could be very effective for bio-sorption of these heavy metal ions. SEM images showed that dry fibers of date palm have a high porosity and that metal ions can be trapped and sorbed into pores. The results show that a bed height of 6 cm, velocity of 1.1Umf and initial concentration for each heavy metal ions of 50 mg/L are most feasible and give high removal efficiency. The fluidized bed reactor was modeled using ideal plug flow and this model was solved numerically by utilizing the MATLAB software for fitting the measured breakthrough results. The breakthrough curves for metal ions gave the order of bio-sorption capacity as follow: Cd(II)]Ni(II).

Levels of toxins has increased in water due to the spurge of industries. Nickel (II) is mostly used in industries because of its anticorrosion behaviour. Nickel (II) is present in the effluent of electroplating, plastics manufacturing, fertilizers and mining industries. It causes detrimental effect on the human health as well as environment because of its toxicity, non-biodegradability and bioaccumulation. Adsorption technique has been investigated in many researches as an effective method for not only detoxifying but also recovering precious heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. In this review various agricultural biomass based adsorbents used for removing Ni(II) from aqueous solution, optimum parameters employed and their removal efficiency from wastewater have been explored.

In this study, heavy metal ions or organic in the aqueous solution are removed by adsorbent without filtration or centrifugation as well as incorporate magnetic materials into the adsorbent. A composite film GO/PVA from PVA and self – synthesized GO by co - precipitation method has synthesized successfully. This composite was characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR to evaluate the properties of this material. The results showed that there was an interaction between GO and PVA so we have tested the adsorption capacity of this composite with Co(II) ions and the obtained efficiency of this process was 99.5% with the initial concentration of solution is 20 mg.L-1. This film is completely capable of removing heavy metal ions from waste water.

Removal of heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Pb2+and Ni2+) from aqueous solution by raw and modified diatomite was investigated in a batch reactor. The diatomite was modified by acid-wash and base-wash, respectively. The influence of kind of diatomite, contact time and initial concentration of metal ions on the adsorption efficiency were studied. The results showed that the acid-washed diatomite showed the best adsorption capacity for all of Cu2+, Pb2+and Ni2+) among raw, acid-washed and base-washed diatomites. Metal ions adsorption amount on A-diatomite increased in the initial concentration range from 10 to 50ppm and in general kept constant after the initial concentration was higher than 60ppm. The result also indicated that Ni2+is more easily adsorbed on the surface of diatomite than Pb2+and Cu2+.

To examine the effects of morphologies of one-dimentional metal oxides on their surface properties, two typical morphologies of manganese dioxide (one is nanorod, the other is nanofiber) as a model of metal oxide were prepared with hydrothermal approach under similar conditions. The adsorption properties of Pb2+ in aqueous solution were carried out by using surface active group of MnO2 with different morphologies. The results indicated that the sorption capacities for Pb2+ were dramaticly increased via tailoring the morphology of MnO2. The products were characterized with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), FTIR (Fourier-Transform Infrared), atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and so on. These results illustrated that it was feasible to improve the removal efficiency of heavy metal ions dramatically in aqueous solution by tailoring the morphology of nanostructured MnO2.

Heavy metal ions contamination has become more serious which is caused by the releasing of toxic water from industrial area and landfill that are very harmful to all living organism especially human and can even cause death if contaminated in small amount of heavy metal concentration. Currently, peoples are using classic method namely electrochemical treatment, chemical oxidation/reduction, chemical precipitation and reverse osmosis to eliminate the metal ions from toxic water. Unfortunately, these methods are costly and not environmentally friendly as compared to bioadsorption method, where agricultural waste is used as biosorbent to remove heavy metals. Two types of agricultural waste used in this research namely oil palm mesocarp fiber (Elaesis guineensis sp.) (OPMF) and mangrove bark (Rhizophora apiculate sp.) (MB) biomass. Through chemical treatment, the removal efficiency was found to improve. The removal efficiency is examined based on four specification namely dosage, of biosorbent to adsorb four types of metals ion explicitly nickel, lead, copper, and chromium. The research has found that the removal efficiency of MB was lower than OPMF; whereas, the multiple metals ions removal efficiency decreased in the order of Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Ni2+ > Cr2+.

Metals Removal

AbstractRemoval of heavy metal ions from wastewater is of prime importance for a clean environment and human health. Different reported methods were devoted to heavy metal ions removal from various wastewater sources. These methods could be classified into adsorption-, membrane-, chemical-, electric-, and photocatalytic-based treatments. This paper comprehensively and critically reviews and discusses these methods in terms of used agents/adsorbents, removal efficiency, operating conditions, and the pros and cons of each method. Besides, the key findings of the previous studies reported in the literature are summarized. Generally, it is noticed that most of the recent studies have focused on adsorption techniques. The major obstacles of the adsorption methods are the ability to remove different ion types concurrently, high retention time, and cycling stability of adsorbents. Even though the chemical and membrane methods are practical, the large-volume sludge formation and post-treatment requirements are vital issues that need to be solved for chemical techniques. Fouling and scaling inhibition could lead to further improvement in membrane separation. However, pre-treatment and periodic cleaning of membranes incur additional costs. Electrical-based methods were also reported to be efficient; however, industrial-scale separation is needed in addition to tackling the issue of large-volume sludge formation. Electric- and photocatalytic-based methods are still less mature. More attention should be drawn to using real wastewaters rather than synthetic ones when investigating heavy metals removal. Future research studies should focus on eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable materials and methods.
