Synthetic zeolite Na-X and clinoptilolite (Cp) as well their modifications with quaternary ammonium salts were used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from aqueous solutions. A novel procedure was developed for the synthesis of organo-zeolites which consisted surface modification hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA) in amounts 1.0 2.0 external cation exchange capacity (ECEC). Modification both zeolites HDTMA improved sorption properties....
Heavy metal contamination in soils has become one of the most critical environmental issues. The efficient in-situ remediation technique is chemical immobilization that uses cost-effective soil amendments such as phosphate compounds to decrease Pb, Cd and Zn accessibility contaminated soils. present study examined effectiveness KH2PO4 immobilizing three samples collected from ZGH “Bolesław” (Mining Smelting Plant “Bolesław”). Effectiveness was evaluated using following methods: a toxicity...
The standard groundwater treatment technology is a simple, non-chemical reagent based on aeration and filtration processes. This resulted in the formation of sludge (GWTS). Because one elements sustainable development possibility their reuse, that water plant operators are looking for new ways managing these sludges. At present, not all factors determining adsorptive capacity known. explanation why adsorption with similar structure chemical composition may differ significantly will allow...
Abstract The use of zeolites as sorbents has been investigated a replacement for existing costly methods removing organic contaminants from water solutions. Zeolites can be modified by inorganic salts, surfactants, metals or metal oxides in order to increase their adsorption capacity. unique ion exchange and properties make them very suitable application the removal compounds such volatile (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenols other complex petrochemicals. Many different...
Among the various technologies tested for removing anionic species resulting from arsenic contamination, sorption methods have received unflagging interest. Being potential sorbent materials, clay minerals modified by cationic surfactants are often examined this purpose. tested, information regarding properties of expanded vermiculite with is scarce. Therefore, present study aims to prepare organo-vermiculites hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA) and benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium (HDBA) at...
The effect of age on the incidence late sequelae that occur after anticancer treatment in childhood is still not fully elucidated. In this multicenter study long-term survivors diagnosed before three, we investigated prevalence effects many years treatment.The group (n = 561) was selected from Polish National Childhood Cancer Survivors Registry 1761) created 2007. A survivor defined as an individual who has survived at least 5 completion treatment. All children were between 1991 and 2016,...
Abstract One of the most effective methods for immobilization toxic metals involves use minerals from apatite supergroup. The formation cadmium chlorapatite may lead to successful entrapping cadmium; thus, it is important examine solubility constant determine stability in structure. Cadmium was synthetized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, Raman scanning electron microscopy. (log) K sp -65.58. Gibbs free energy reached -3950.48 kJ mol −1 . turned out be low but...
Organic compounds such as BTEX and PAHs are one of the most common contaminants in water system. These would take decades to degrade they have harmful effects on human health (Qin et al., 2008). Several treatment methods been developed remove those from industrial wastewater. They include ion-exchange, filtration, adsorption use various types sorbents for example zeolites (Kibazohi 2004; Mathur 2007; Aivaliotiet 2012; Almeida al. 2012). Natural clinoptilolite (Cp) Bystre deposit Slovakia...
<p>The ever-increasing water pollution caused by an increase in industrial activity developing countries is a major worldwide problem. Heavy metal contamination particularly dangerous because of their toxic and carcinogenic nature as well harmful effects on human animal health. Over the past decades, considerable efforts have been made to develop effective technologies for removing heavy metals from water. Adsorption seems be most promising out many methods. Conventional...
