Soil heavy metal contamination and acid deposition: experimental approach on two forest soils in Hunan, Southern China [PDF]
In 1985, a tailing dam collapsed in Hunan province (southern China) leading to soil contamination by heavy metals from the tailings waste. Moreover, acid deposition becomes more and more serious in this area. In this context, two forest soils (a red soil

Adsorption of heavy metals by brewery biomass [PDF]
In this work, biosorption of lead, copper and cadmium by waste brewery yeast has been studied. The adsorption capacity for lead, copper and cadmium on the biomass increased with the increasing temperature and the maximum uptakes were 0.465 mmolPb/g (96.4 mg/g), 0.769 mmolCu/g (48.9 mg/g) and 0.127 mmolCd/g (14.3 mg/g) at 308 K.

Adsorption of heavy metal cations in montmorillonite [PDF]
Abstract Adsorption behavior of Ca, Ni, and Cu by a montmorillonite at pH 4 through 7 was analyzed within a wide range of divalent cation concentrations (M2+=1.25 to 4.5 mi/liter). The data were interpreted in terms of the following Langmuir equation which was derived in assuming that the adsorption process of divalent metal cations by Na ...

Adsorption of heavy metals by EPS of activated sludge
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) were extracted by high-speed centrifugation at 20,000 G for 30 min from an activated sludge treating municipal wastewater. Each gram of sludge, as measured in volatile suspended solids (VSS), contained 7.3 mg of EPS, including 6.5 mg of protein (EPSp) and 0.8 mg of carbohydrate (EPSc). The EPSp had a mean MW of

Functionalized sepiolite for heavy metal ions adsorption
Abstract Surface modification of clays has become increasingly important due to the practical applications of clays such as fillers and adsorbents. The surface modification of sepiolite with [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane has been employed. The modified sepiolite surface was investigated by FTIR, XRD and DTA/TG analysis.
