Uranium (VI) sorption by multiwalled carbon nanotubes from aqueous solution
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich equilibrium models to obtain the characteristic parameters of each model, and the results suggest that MWCNTs are suitable materials for preconcentration and solidification of uranium (VI) species.

Sorption of Cd(II) and Se(IV) from aqueous solution using modified rice husk.
TL;DR: Physicochemical tests showed an increase in sorbent acidity, cation exchange capacity and surface functionality after the reaction with acidified Se(IV) indicating that oxidation processes took place on the sorbent surface, and no changes in physicochemical tests were found after Cd(II) sorption indicating the absence of redox processes.

Physicochemical studies of cadmium(II) biosorption by the invasive alga in Europe, Sargassum muticum.
TL;DR: The results of a study regarding the cadmium binding equilibria of dead biomass from the seaweed Sargassum muticum are reported; this alga is a pest fouling organism that competes with the local fucalean species and may also interfere with the “sea industry”; therefore, it would constitute an ideal material to be used as biosorbent.

Defect creation in metal-organic frameworks for rapid and controllable decontamination of roxarsone from aqueous solution.
TL;DR: Zr-based metal-organic frameworks of UiO-66 have been successfully exploited for the efficient decontamination of a typical organic arsenic compound of roxarsone (ROX) from aqueous solution to prefigure the great potentials of these defect-tunable Uo-66 MOFs as adsorbents for theefficient removal of various OACs from the polluted water.

Adsorption characteristics and the kinetics of the Cr(VI) on the Thuja oriantalis
TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption behavior of Cr(VI) on the Thuja oriantalis has been studied as a function of the solution agitation rate, pH and temperature.

Removal of hexavalent chromium using sphagnum moss peat
Deepak Sharma,C.F. Forster +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that sphagnum moss peat, which is essentially oligotrophic, in concentrations ranging from 4 to 40 g/l can be used effectively to remove hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions.

Batch metal removal by peat : kinetics and thermodynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the kinetics and thermodynamics of batch metal removal reactions by 50 g/l (dry wt) eutrophic or oligotrophic peat particles using Cu 2+, Cd 2÷, Zn 2 ÷ and Ni 2 ǫ concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 100 mM were presented.

Pretreating landfill leachate with peat to remove metals
J. K. McLellan,C. A. Rock +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of peat to treat two different landfill leachates was determined, and the efficiency of treatment was evaluated as a function of factors important for developing filter design criteria.
