Sorptive removal of arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)] by fuller’s earth immobilized nanoscale zero-valent iron nanoparticles (F-nZVI): Effect of Fe 0 loading on adsorption activity
(Elsevier, 2016)
Fuller’s earth immobilized nanoscale zerovalent iron (F-nZVI 1–8) were synthesized by borohydride reduction method. The iron loading of fuller’s earth immobilized nZVI was varied from 5 to 50% (w/w) in these F-nZVI 1–8. ...
Removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution: a comparative study of cone biomass of “Picea smithiana” and activated charcoal
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The present work investigates comparative adsorption efficiency of powdered cone biomass of Picea smithiana (PCBP) and activated charcoal (AC) for removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr) (Cr(VI)) from aqueous solution. The ...
Role of soil physicochemical characteristics on the present state of arsenic and its adsorption in alluvial soils of two agri-intensive region of Bathinda, Punjab, India
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
Purpose: Arsenic (As) contamination of groundwater has received significant attention recently in district Bathinda, due to consequent health risk in this region. Soil is the one of the primary medium for arsenic transport ...
