Biosorption optimization of nickel removal from water using Punica granatum peel waste

Agricultural waste peels as versatile biomass for water purification – A review

“…Equilibrium was achieved in 2 h. The feasibility of pomegranate peel waste for the removal of nickel from water was also examined [104]. The maximum sorption capacity of pomegranate peel adsorbent for nickel removal was found to be ca.…”

Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn concentrations in Ulva lactuca, Codium fragile, Jania rubens, and Dictyota dichotoma from Rabta Bay, Jijel (Algeria)

“…Heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, zinc, copper, and chromium or their compounds have been used extensively by various metal-finishing, mining and chemical industries (Hamidi et al 2008). The presence of these heavy metals affects numerous metabolic or developmental processes in all living organisms (Přibyl et al 2008) because of its toxicity, nonbiodegradability, bioaccumulation and persistence in nature (Bayhan et al 2001;Villaescusaa et al 2004;Ahluwalia and Goyal 2007;Bahadir et al 2007;Garg et al 2007;Pérez-Marín et al 2007;Bulut and Baysal 2006;Kamala-Kannan et al 2008;Vilar et al 2008;Wang and Fowler 2008;Pathak et al 2009;Bhatnagar and Minocha 2010;Farooq et al 2010;Pahlavanzadeha et al 2010).…”

Preparation and Characterization of Poly(ethyl hydrazide) Grafted Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch for Removal of Ni(II) Ion in Aqueous Environment

“…The initial concentrations of metal ions act as an important driving force to overcome all mass transfer resistance of metal ions between the aqueous and solid phase [4]. However, at the high concentration range (400-1000 mg·L ) of Ni(II), there is only a slight increment on the adsorption capacity, indicating that peh-g-opefb is becoming saturated and fewer sites are available for metal adsorption [23]. …”
