This book was released on 2005-03-11 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past 30 years have seen the emergence of a growing desire worldwide to take positive actions to restore and protect the environment from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution: air, noise, solid waste, and water. Because pollution is a direct or indirect consequence of waste, the seemingly idealistic demand for “zero discharge” can be construed as an unrealistic demand for zero waste. However, as long as waste exists, we can only attempt to abate the subsequent pollution by converting it to a less noxious form. Three major questions usually arise when a particular type of pollution has been identified: (1) How serious is the pollution? (2) Is the technology to abate it available? and (3) Do the costs of abatement justify the degree of abatement achieved? The principal intention of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering series is to help readers formulate answers to the last two questions. The traditional approach of applying tried-and-true solutions to specific pollution pr- lems has been a major contributing factor to the success of environmental engineering, and has accounted in large measure for the establishment of a “methodology of pollution c- trol. ” However, realization of the ever-increasing complexity and interrelated nature of current environmental problems makes it imperative that intelligent planning of pollution abatement systems be undertaken.

Download or read book Preparation and Characterization of Bioadsorbent Beads for Removing Selected Heavy Metal Ions from Wastewater written by Suhaib S. Salih and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid industrialization is one of the major threats to water pollution worldwide, as discharge effluents contain large amounts of toxic metal ions. Heavy metals are highly toxic to the ecosystem and human even at very low concentrations. We focused on easily available, green and eco-friendly with low operational cost materials to remove heavy metals from industrial wastewater. Chitosan is considered an alternative and sustainable adsorbent due to its highly efficient adsorption capacities for heavy metals. In this particular study, chitosan was successfully modified by using diatomaceous earth and then fabricated as spherical beads using the drop-wise method. Pristine chitosan (CS) beads and chitosan coated diatomaceous earth (CSDE) beads were used to remove zinc, chromium, lead, and nickel ions from aqueous solutions in batch and continuous adsorption processes. The prepared adsorbents were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer−Emmett−Teller (BET), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and zeta potential. The results showed that the prepared adsorbents were porous in nature and the total surface area were increased from 1.9 m2/g for pristine chitosan to 14.4 m2/g for chitosan coated diatomaceous earth. The performance of prepared adsorbents was investigated at different temperatures, initial pH of the solution, contact times, initial metal concentrations. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model is more likely to predict the kinetic behavior of the metal ions adsorption process for the whole used contact time range, and the adsorption isotherm data of CS and CSDE beads were well fitted to Langmuir model. The maximal adsorption capacities of prepared CSDE beads were found to be pH dependent as follows: - Zinc ion - 127.4 mg/g at initial Zn(II) concentration 500 mg/L and pH 6. - Chromium ion - 84.23 mg/g at initial Cr(VI) concentration 1000 mg/L and pH 3. - Lead ion - 175.22 mg/g at initial Pb(II) concentration 400 mg/L and pH 7. - Nickel ion - 149.64 mg/g at initial Ni(II) concentration 400 mg/L and pH 6. Successful desorption and regeneration of prepared adsorbents were achieved (with common chemicals) and possessed excellent reusability (up to 10 cycles without a significant loss in adsorption capacity). The common anions and cations coexisting ions have insignificant impact on the removal capacity of prepared adsorbents. Overall, these results suggest that the environmentally friendly materials might be recognized as effective adsorbent and sustainable means for the separation of heavy metals from wastewater streams. That will lead to a new solution to water pollution required in the modern industrial society.

Download or read book Biosorption for Wastewater Contaminants written by Rangabhashiyam Selvasembian and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollution due to various anthropogenic activities continues to increase. In terms of water pollutants, organic and inorganic pollutants are the most problematic. Although several measures have been proposed and implemented to prevent or reduce contamination, their increased concentration in water bodies has created serious concerns. Over the years, the problem has been aggravated by industrialization, urbanization and the exploitation of natural resources. The direct discharge of wastewater contaminants and their geographical mobilization have caused an increase in concentration in ground, surface, fluvial and residual waters. Extensive information about detection and disposal methods is needed in order to develop technological solutions for a ­variety of environments, both urban and rural. This book provides up-to-date information on wastewater contaminants, aimed at researchers, engineers and technologists working in this field. Conventional physicochemical techniques used to remove contaminants from wastewater include ion exchange, precipitation, degradation, coagulation, coating, membrane processes and adsorption. However, these applications have technological and economic limitations, and involve the release of large amounts of chemical reagents and by-products that are themselves difficult to remove. Biosorption - the use of organically generated material as an adsorbent – is attracting new research and scholarship. Thermally-treated calcined biomaterials may be treated to remove heavy metals from wastewater. To ensure the elimination of these contaminants, existing solutions must be integrated with intelligent biosorption functions. Biosorption for Wastewater Contaminants will find an appreciative audience among academics and postgraduates working in the fields of environmental biotechnology, environmental engineering, wastewater treatment technology and environmental chemistry.

Download or read book Removal of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solutions by Novel Melamine formaldehyde polyaminopolycarboxylic Acid Chelating Adsorbents written by Ahmad Baraka and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contamination of water recourses by heavy metals is a serious worldwide environmental problem. Industrial activities, mining and coal combustion are typical contamination sources. Removal of these metals from wastewater effluents is crucial as this contamination is non-biodegradable and highly toxic. Extensive research has been carried out to introduce new materials which alleviate these metals from wastewater effluents before their discharge into water bodies such as rivers and lakes. Conventional methods to remove heavy metals from wastewater include chemical precipitation, ion-exchange and chelation-adsorption. Adsorption is an important and developing research area because of the new material types available according to the application. Furthermore, it is standard process to place the adsorbent in a column and pump the wastewater through in a continuous system. It is also a cost-effective process. Chelating adsorbents are typically characterised by functional groups containing 0, N, S, and P donor atoms which coordinate to different heavy metal ions. It is necessary that the adsorbent has a high capacity and that the kinetics of adsorption is sufficiently fast. Polyaminepolycarboxylic (PAPC) acids are strong chelating agents and form stable chelates with different types of metals: transition, lanthanides and actinides. In spite of its exceptional chelating power, many of the PAPC compounds - such as DTPA (8-coordinations), CDTA (6-coordinations) and NTA (4-coordinations) - have not been thoroughly studied for use as active sites in adsorbent materials for heavy metal remediation from contaminated water effluents. Furthermore, the effect of the number of coordination groups on the adsorption behaviour has not been investigated. Use of these strong chelating agents (PAPC) for heavy metal removal by a polymeric adsorbent is presented in this study, with discussion of the chelation mechanism and affinity. The PAPC chelating agents were anchored on melamineformaldehyde (MF) gel. Although MF gel has suitable chemical and physical properties allowing the production of an adsorbent for heavy metal removal, it has not been studied. MF gel is porous and its matrix has a suitable platform to functionalize with some chelating compounds. PAPC-modified melamine-formaldehyde matrix is easy to produce compared to conventional chelating resins based on styrene/divinylbenzene. In this work, melamine-formaldehyde-polyaminepolycarboxylic acid (MF-PAPC) chelating adsorbents were synthesised by anchoring polyaminepolycarboxylic acids (PAPC) to melamine by the reaction of the carboxylic group of PAPC with a primary amine group of melamine forming a covalent amide bond during MF matrix formation.
