Method Development for the Determination of Heavy Metals such as Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc in Aluminium Alloys by ICP-OES, based on wastewater analysis method
Gkogkaki V., Karageorgis A., (Corresponding) Pantazis K.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The determination of Heavy Metals such as Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc in Aluminium Alloys is usually achieved following ASTM E3061-17 Method. Alternatively, for time and cost saving, the laboratory’s ΕΝ ISO 11885:2009 method for wastewater analysis was appropriately modified producing...Read more

Coal fly ash zeolites as adsorbents for effective removal of heavy metals and dyes from contaminated waters
Zgureva D., (Corresponding) Boycheva S., Behunová D., Václavíková M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Recently, the purification of enormous amounts contaminated industrial, agricultural and municipal waters increases the demands of low-cost and technologically feasible techniques. The application of natural zeolites in wastewater treatment is known from many years. A feasible approach for...Read more

Removal of heavy metals from sewage sludge using combined hydrothermal pretreatment and chelate extraction
(Corresponding) Usťak S., Muňoz J.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The removal of heavy metals from sewage sludge using the combined influence of hydrothermal pretreatment and chelate extraction was tested. The classical method of batch extraction with chelates and the advanced hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP) extraction process with chelates were compared. Both...Read more

Novel Polyethersulfone (PES) Alpha-Zirconium Phosphate (α-ZrP) Ion Exchange Mixed Matrix Membranes for Effective Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater
ABDULKARIM E., IBRAHIM Y., (Corresponding) HASAN S., NADDEO V., BANAT F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In this study, novel polyethersulfone (PES) alpha-zirconium (α-ZrP) ion exchange mixed matrix membranes were fabricated via phase inversion method using nano-sized alpha-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP-n) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as dispersant nano-additives in the dope solution preparation. The...Read more

Development of pH-Responsive Adsorptive Ultrafiltration Membrane for the treatment of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solution
Khamis F., Hegab h., Arafat h., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This research presents a new amino-modified activated carbon (MAC) nanohybrid and its use in polylactic acid (PLA) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes for treating wastewater. The MAC composite was produced through three steps: activated carbon pretreatment, modification, and heat-induced cross-linking...Read more

Removal of copper (II) from aqueous solution using biopolymer-based materials: Theoretical and statistical physics investigation for wastewater treatment
ELBOUGHDIRI N., FERKOUS H., ROUIBAH K., DELIM A., BOUBLIA A., ALGETHAMI J., ALQAHTANI M., JEON B., (Corresponding) Yadav Y., BENGUERBA Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Pollution from heavy metals is increasingly recognized as a major threat to Earth's ecosystem. Due to the potential economic and ecological consequences, there is an urgent need to develop waste management systems and strategies for disposing of copper ions (Cu2+) from the industrial sector...Read more
