Thermodynamic properties and adsorption behaviour of hydrogel nanocomposites for cadmium removal from mine effluents
(Elsevier, 2017)
This research paper reports on the utilization of the hydrogel of gelatine (GL) and its hybrid nanocomposite with clinoptilolite for the adsorption of Cd2+ ions from an aqueous solution and multi-metal ions from mine ...
Prospects for immobilization of microbial sorbents on carbon nanotubes for biosorption: bioremediation of heavy metals polluted water
(Wiley, 2014)
Details the water research applications of nanotechnology in various areas including environmental science, remediation, membranes, nanomaterials, and water treatment
Preparation and characterization of gum karaya hydrogel nanocomposite flocculant for metal ions removal from mine effluents
(Springer, 2016)
This research paper reports the removal of heavy metal ions from mine effluents using the gum karaya (GK)-grafted poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) incorporated iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) hydrogel ...
Copolymerization of ethyl acrylate onto guar gum for the adsorption of Mg(II) and Ca(II) ions
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
In the present study, the copolymerization of ethyl acrylate and guar gum was induced by microwave irradiation in the presence of catalytic amount of the initiator potassium persulfate (KPS). The maximum percentage conversion ...
Gum ghatti and acrylic acid based biodegradable hydrogels for the effective adsorption of cationic dyes
(Elsevier, 2015)
This article reports biosorption properties of Gum ghatti and acrylic acid based graft co-polymers for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB). Gg–cl–PAA removed 99% MB and 98% RhB from the respective ...
Performance of various cyanide degrading bacteria on the biodegradation of free cyanide in water
(Elsevier, 2019)
This study reports on the biodegradation of free cyanide (FCN) by cyanide degrading bacteria (CDB) that were isolated from mining wastewater and thiocyanate containing wastewater. The performance of these isolates was ...
Soil quality in the basin of mine effluents and the potential of alleviation of metal dispersion
(CUMTP, 2014)
The soils along the basin ofmine effluent were investigated for their role in the mitigation of the
pollution of river water in the residential areas around Potchefstroom in South Africa.The results showed that the
soils ...
Metal ions adsorption affinity of clayey materials from the North West Province of South Africa
(CUMTP, 2014)
Local clays that are abundant in the periphery of Potchefstroom in South Africa were characterized and
investigated as potential sorbents for the removal of metal ions from effluents. The clay samples mostly contained
...
Implication of plants and microbial metalloproteins in the bioremediation of polluted waters: a review
(Elsevier, 2014)
Traditional approaches to municipal water monitoring barely includes procedures for toxic heavy metals
testing. However, the presence of such contaminants in water sources is expected in South African
surface and ground ...
Mercury removal by porous sulfur copolymers: adsorption isotherm and kinetics studies
(Elsevier, 2020)
Mercury is one of the most toxic, harmful element present in water that severely affects human health. Many traditional as well as advanced technologies were developed to remove mercury from wastewater. In this study, ...
