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 ... -
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 ... -
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 -
Selective adsorption of heavy and light metals by natural zeolites
(PSRC, 2014)Recent studies have shown that zeolite can be applied through an ion-exchange process to remove metals from solutions. In this paper the potential of two zeolites to perform as sorbents for treatment of multi-metal system ...
