Protein wastes (feathers, goat hair) and cellulosic wastes (corn cob, coconut husks) were collected and washed with detergent solution, thoroughly rinsed and sun dried for 2 days before drying in an oven, and then ground. One-half of ground material was carbonized at a maximum temperature of 500°C after mixing with H2SO4. The carbonized parts were pulverized; both carbonized and uncarbonized sorbents were sieved into two particle sizes of 325 and 625 μm using mechanical sieve. Sorbents of a given particle size were packed into glass column.Then, textile wastewater that had its physicochemical parameters previously determined was eluted into each glass column and a contact time of 60 and 120 mins was allowed before analysis. Results showed 48.15–99.98 percentage reduction of , EC, Cl−, BOD, COD, DO, TSS, and TDS, 34.67–99.93 percentage reduction of , EC, Cl−, BOD, COD, DO, TSS, and TDS, 52.83–97.95 percentage reduction of Pb2+, Ni2+, Cr3+and Mn2+and 34.59–94.87 percentage reduction of Pb2+, Ni2+, Cr3+and Mn2+. Carbonization, small particle, size and longer contact time enhanced the sorption capabilities of the sorbents. These show that protein and cellulosic wastes can be used to detoxify wastewater.

Activated carbon prepared from Ricinus communis Pericarp was used to remove Ni(II) from aqueous solution by adsorption. Batch mode adsorption experiments are carried out by varying contact time, metal-ion concentration, carbon concentration and pH to assess kinetic and equilibrium parameters. The adsorption data were modeled by using both Langmuir and Freundlich classical adsorption isotherms. The adsorption capacity (Qo) calculated from the Langmuir isotherm was 31.15 mg/g of activated carbon at initial pH of 5.0±0.2 for the particle size 125-250 µm.

Leaf Powder

Saraca thaipingensis or ‘Gapis’ tree, classified under the Fabaceae family is a native of Taiping; copious over Peninsular Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The withered and fallen dead leaves were collected from INTI International University’s garden walkway. To date, literature has yet to capture the use of S. thaipingensis tree parts or refuse as potential biosorbent material for the removal of heavy metals thus verifying the novelty of this study. Batch experiments were carried out with the leaf powder to study the effects of dosage, particle size and contact time towards Cr(VI) removal (%) at 1-100 mg/L. Results showed that Cr(VI) removal increased from 52.22% to 99.31% (p < 0.05) with increase in biosorbent dosage (0.005, 0.010, 0.015, 0.020, 0.025 and 0.050 g). The different particle size ranges tested were: 107-125, 126-150, 151-250, 251-500, and 501- 1000 ?m. Highest Cr(VI) removal of 99.53% was obtained with the 151-250 ?m particle size; further size decrease did not yield more removal (p > 0.05). The optimal Cr(VI) removal was recorded after 45 min (99.62%) and 90 min (99.76%) contact time (p > 0.05). Further characterization and optimization studies are being carried out to develop a novel, sustainable, low cost yet effective leaf powder based biosorbent material.

Heavy metals became a great concern for scientists due to their harmful action on the environment and human life. EDTA and NTA chelation capacity were used to assess soil decontamination. The effect of pH, ligand, soil solution contact time with agitation, soil solution ratio, and particle size were investigated, in order to prioritize them, using the design of experiment methodology (Doe): pH was the most influential factor while the ratio mass of the soil by the volume of the solution and particle size were of equal importance. EDTA was more effective as a chelator than NTA in removing metals from the soil. The contact time was not a significant factor; a contact time of 10 minutes was sufficient to extract the two metals studied. An extraction efficiency of 45% was achieved for Pb and 85% for Cu without optimization process.

Chemical Strategies

Currently, water pollution control is one of the major logical zones. The textile industry is a major pollution causing industry among the industrial pollutions. Treatment of textile effluent utilizing customary physical as well as chemical strategies is costly, produces enormous amounts of sludge and needs the expansion of lethal chemicals. BOD to COD proportion of textile effluent is low. Thus it is not appropriate to treat textile effluent by a solitary physicochemical or biological process. In this investigation, the textile effluent is dealt with utilizing Moving Bed Bio-film Reactor (MBBR) with the magnetic field after improving the biodegradability by the solar photo-Fenton process. The carriers in MBBR is inoculated with azoarcus bacteria isolated from textile sludge. The fundamental  parameters as pH, carrier filling ratio and contact time were optimized utilizing Box Behnken factual design. The MBBR process has most extreme efficiency at pH 7, filling ratio of 62% and a contact time 2.4 days. In this optimum condition 68.9% BOD and 80% COD  are expelled. At the point when the pretreated wastewater was dealt with MBBR reactor under the influence of magnetic field, the efficiency of the treatment is additionally expanded, so 87.4% COD expulsion and 87% BOD evacuation were accomplished at 12 mT attractive field power when exposure time was at 12 hrs.

Effects Of Ph

This study investigated the development and application of banana peel for the remediation of heavy metals (Pb, Zn and Cr). Batch experimental processes as well as conditions that might influence the sorption of the metals were investigated. These conditions include effects of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and particle size. The applicability of the sorption process was tested on wastewater. The adsorbent activated with 0.5 M H2SO4 showed the highest percentage removal of chromium ion (88.9 %) at a pH of 6. It has been found that particle size has no effect on the removal of zinc ion and it has also been found that the removal efficiency of lead and chromium ion decreased with increase in contact time and particle size. Also, it can be seen from the results that untreated banana peel waste increases the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) values of wastewater. The results from the optimized method revealed the applicability of the method to environmental water samples. This study therefore confirms that banana peel is a promising adsorbent for the removal of chromium from industrial effluent.

Removal Capacity

A type of sand selected in Sichuan, China was identified with high adsorption capacity to ammonium nitrogen. The effects of contact time, initial ammonium concentration and particle size on the sand for removing ammonium from digested effluent of swine wastewater were investigated using a static shaker experiment. Results showed that the optimum contact time for sand to adsorb ammonium was 150 min. As initial ammonium concentration increased, the removal capacity of the sand increased, but the removal efficiency decreased. The adsorbed ammonium increased as the particle size decreased. At ammonium concentrations ranging from 27 0 to 553 mg L-1, the maximum ammonium adsorption capacity of the sand was approximately 0 77 mg g-1 according to the Langmuir equation. Based on these findings, the use of this local sand as an adsorption media for ammonium nitrogen removal from digested effluent of swine wastewater is feasible.
