Effects of operating parameters and coexisting ions on the efficiency of heavy metal ions removal by nano-fibrous metal-organic framework membrane filtration process.

TL;DR: Results from the filtration experiments indicate a substantial variation in the feed volume that the membrane can treat before the permeate lead concentration reaches the allowable limit of 10 ppb, depending on the process parameter.

Adsorption, kinetics and equilibrium studies on removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions using different low-cost adsorbents

TL;DR: In this article, the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution by batch adsorption technique using different low-cost adsorbents was investigated, and the effect of pH, adsorbent type and concentration, initial Cr (VI) concentration and contact time on the selectivity and sensitivity of the removal process was investigated.

Removal of chromium(VI) from aqueous solution by activated carbons: kinetic and equilibrium studies.

TL;DR: The adsorption of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI) is maximal at the lowest values of pH (pH 3) and increases with temperature for both adsorbents and the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor as well as the thermodynamic functions related to advertisersorption reaction were determined.

Fixed-bed adsorption of reactive azo dye onto granular activated carbon prepared from waste.

TL;DR: The BGAC was shown to be suitable adsorbent for adsorption of RB5 using fixed-bed adsorptive column and fitted well to the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models with coefficients of correlation R(2)>or=0.93 at different conditions.

Toxicity and Carcinogenicity of Cr(VI) in Animal Models and Humans

TL;DR: There is suggestive evidence that hexavalent Cr causes increased risk of bone, prostate, lymphomas, Hodgkins, leukemia, stomach, genital, renal, and bladder cancer, reflecting the ability of Hexavalent chromate to penetrate all tissues in the body.

Characterization of mesoporous rice husk ash (RHA) and adsorption kinetics of metal ions from aqueous solution onto RHA.

TL;DR: RHA was found to be an effective adsorbent for the removal of cadmium (Cd(II), nickel (Ni(II) and zinc (Zn(II)) metal ions from aqueous solutions and kinetics showed that the metal ions adsorption on RHA is a gradual process with quasi-equilibrium being attained in 5h.
