TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of Escherichia coli supported on kaolin to remove Cr(VI), Cd(II), Fe(III) and Ni(II) from aqueous solutions was investigated.
231 citations
TL;DR: It was observed that as the initial chromium concentration increases, the uptake increases too, but the removal percentage decreases, with values between 95.20% and 38.28% for the initial concentration of metal.
98 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of a biofilm of Escherichia coli supported on NaY zeolite to biosorb Cr(VI), Cd(II), Fe(III) and Ni(II) was investigated in batch experiments aiming the treatment of wastewater with low metal concentrations.
92 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model of multicomponent adsorption in fixed bed was developed and validated against the results obtained in breakthrough experiments and PSA tests, presenting a good prediction of the experimental data.
71 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the recovery of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions by an Arthrobacter viscosus biofilm supported on NaY zeolite.

TL;DR: It is evident from the literature survey articles that ion-exchange, adsorption and membrane filtration are the most frequently studied for the treatment of heavy metal wastewater.
6,844 citations
TL;DR: A detailed review compiles thorough literature of current research over the last ten years (2006-2016) and highlights the key findings of adsorption studies that use clay minerals as an adsorbent.
1,329 citations
TL;DR: Detailed information and review on the adsorption of noxious heavy metal ions from wastewater effluents using various adsorbents - i.e., conventional (activated carbons, zeolites, clays, biosorbents, and industrial by-products) and nanostructured (fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphenes) is presented.
1,053 citations
TL;DR: Alumina-coated multi-wall carbon nanotubes were synthesized and characterized and displayed the main advantage of separation convenience when a fixed-bed column was used compared to the batch adsorption treatment.
913 citations
TL;DR: A theoretical basis and guiding methodology for the selection and use of the adsorption isotherms is provided and a user interface was developed based on Excel software for solving the isotherm models.
