Nano-iron based coated biomass as packing material in fixed-bed reactors for Lead removal from wastewater: experimental and mathematical modelling

(Corresponding) Vilardi G., Di Palma L., Verdone N.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

The lead pollution of natural environments is considered a severe issue due to the high toxicity and mobility of lead ionic species. The present study deals with the removal of Pb(II) ions from synthetic wastewater by means of iron-based coated olive stones, used as packing material in lab-scale...Read more

Keywords:

Aguilar-Arevalo A., Alba Posse E., Alvarez M., Arnaldi H., Asorey H., Bertou X., Colque Α., Deisting A., (Corresponding) Dias A., D'Olivo J., Favela-Pérez F., Gándola Y., Garcés E., Gasulla J., Gómez Berisso M., González Muñoz A., Guerra-Pulido J., Gutierrez S., Jois S., Lipovetzky J., Lovera J., Lovino M., Marín-Lámbarri D., Marpegan L., Martín D., Martinez Montero M., Mejía Muñoz S., Monroe J., Nadra A., Paling S., Pregliasco R., Rumi G., Rossen A., Santos J., Scovell P., Tallis M., Teijeiro A., Triana M., Vázquez-Jáuregui E.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

This paper reports on the development of a novel CMOS device employing lead-sensing bacteria to assay lead in drinking water. The objective of the PlomBOX project is to develop a low-cost sensor (£10) which can expedite access to on-demand assay methods and thus help mitigate lead intake through...Read more

Removal of phosphate ions and Pb (II) from synthetic water matrices using “green” synthesized zero valent iron

Tomašević Pilipović D., Jokić Govedarica J., (Corresponding) Kerkez D., Leovac Maćerak A., Slijepčević N., Gvoić V., Bečelić-Tomin M.

Topic:

Water treatment

In this paper, phosphates and lead were chosen as the priority pollutant, because their increased concentrations in water can be caused by the release of various untreated effluents and thus can cause serious damage to the environment. Nano zero valent iron synthesized by leaves, In addition to...Read more

Cultivation of milk thistle in Pb-contaminated urban soils

(Corresponding) Papadimou S., BARBAYIANNIS N., GOLIA Ε.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

In order to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils of urban areas, we conducted an experiment using a pharmaceutical phytic species such as milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gearn.). The experiment was carried out using two different soil samples (one acid and one alkaline) from urban areas...Read more
