Removal of copper from water using limestone filtration technique: determination of mechanism of removal

Application of response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize coagulation–flocculation treatment of leachate using poly-aluminum chloride (PAC) and alum

“…PBLS has an area of 23.7 ha and is equipped with a natural marine clay liner and three leachate collection ponds [13]. This landfill has been developed semi-aerobically employing a controlled tipping technique in 1991 and leachate recirculation system in 2001 [14][15][16].…”

Study on removal of cadmium by hybrid liquid membrane process

“…Various treatment methods including precipitation [3,4], ion exchange by ionic resins [5], clays [6] or zeolites [7], adsorption of cadmium on the surface of materials such as carbon [8] or alumina [9] and biofiltration by microalgal [10] or bacteria [11] have been proposed for removal of cadmium from wastewaters. However, each of these processes has its own restrictions and disadvantages.…”

Adsorption removal of cadmium and copper from aqueous solution by areca—A food waste

“…efficiency, easy handling, availability of different adsorbents and cost effectiveness. Recently, there is growing interest in using low cost, non-conventional alternative materials which used to be considered as waste [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Most cases have also confirmed that the use of large quantities of such kind of wastes for the treatment of polluted water is an attractive and promising option with a double benefit for the environment.…”
