Mining application - Heavy metals testing in water
Isaac Plains is an open cut coal mine, in Northern Queensland, Australia. The Isaac Plains Project operates under an Environmental Authority (EA). They needed a field test for heavy metals compliance. The water sources included potable water, mine affected water, natural creek flows, water releases, groundwater and the receiving environment. The site water management system is comprised of ...

ANDalyze - Real Time Testing for Heavy Metals - Whitepaper
Whitepaper on DNAzyme heavy metals testing technology. Water pollution is a worldwide problem affecting developing and developed countries alike. Heavy metal contaminants are one prevalent type of water pollutant. They are persistent in the environment once discharged and removal from source waters is necessary to ensure a clean drinking water supply. The problem of heavy metal pollution arises ...

Heavy Metals Water Testing Powered by DNA
Water pollution is a worldwide problem affecting developing and developed countries alike. Heavy metal contaminants are one prevalent type of water pollutant. They are persistent in the environment once d is charged and removal from source waters is necessary to ensure a clean drinking water supply. The problem of heavy metal pollution arises from several sources. Heavy metals such as uranium can ...

Occurrence of heavy metals and contaminants on the surface of adjacent rivers
Water is fundamental to the survival of living beings. It registers every impact and can function as an indicator of environmental stressors. Our objective in the current study was to assess the sanitary conditions of the waters in the Açude, Maria Lucinda and Santa Rosa streams. This was done by checking pH, running quantitative analyses of heavy metals and testing for total coliforms. The ...

A novel approach to remediating contaminated groundwater by reusing industrial co-products
This paper presents a novel approach to remediating contaminated groundwater by utilising industrial co-products. The materials discussed include paper clay and steel slag, and the primary water contamination considered is heavy metal contamination. Paper clay was determined to have the potential for adsorbing heavy metals, and in compacted form could achieve permeability values within the ...

Measuring heavy metal migration rates in a low-permeability soil
Abstract Heavy metals at high concentrations are often toxic to living organisms, and their environmental toxicity depends on soil properties. It has long been thought that in clay-rich, low-permeability soils, heavy metals are bound to soil particles, and thus there are only few toxicity risks. This study questioned this perception and tested heavy metal mobility in such a soil, of the London ...

Saturated and unsaturated flow through sloped compost filter beds of different particle sizes
Little is known about the hydraulics of sloped compost beds having active free and non-flowing zones, and used for runoff erosion and volume control, and heavy metal removal. Water sorption tests on yard waste compost indicated that water transfer between the two zones would be slow (6 hr for a 0.04 m rise). The free flowing zone in ≈1 m long sloped (15°) beds increased in depth ...

Sustainable reuse potential of municipal sewage sludge in south–east Australia
With the aim of reusing municipal sewage sludge, this paper presents the chemical and organic properties of sludge from a major sewage treatment plant in south–eastern Australia. The results show that the concentrations of all OCPs and majority of PAHs were below or close to laboratory detection limits. Concentrations of heavy metals in sludge samples were compared with typical sludge testing ...

Heavy Metals Contaminated Soils Site Characterization
What is Heavy Metals Contaminated Soils Site Characterization? The EPA requires a Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP, EPA Method 1311) test to characterize heavy metals contaminated soils and determine how they should be disposed. Soils exhibiting hazardous characteristics, typically leaching metals at greater than 5.0 mg/L, need to be disposed of at a permitted hazardous waste ...

Heavy metals removal from water by adsorption on propylthiol-functionalised mesoporous silica obtained by co-condensation
Propylthiol-functionalised mesoporous silica SBA-15 prepared by co-condensation has been tested for heavy metal removal. Adsorption from aqueous solution was examined for Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II). Adsorption isotherms were determined at 20°C and Langmuir and Freundlich models were fitted to experimental data. The results from adsorption experiments indicate that mercury is efficiently ...

Metal releases from a municipal solid waste incineration air pollution control residue mixed with compost
The influence of 10 wt.% mature compost was tested on the heavy metal leachate emissions from a calcium-rich municipal solid waste incineration air pollution control residue (MSWI APC). Apart from elongated columns (500 and 1250 mm), an otherwise norm compliant European percolation test setup was used. More than 99% of the metals Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe and Ni were left in the APC residue after ...

Recycling of defatted Carica papaya seeds biosorbent (DPS) waste containing Pb and Cd in clay bricks: laboratory scale experiment
This study investigated the potential of recycling defatted Carica papaya seeds biosorbent (DPS) waste with adsorbed Pb and Cd in clay bricks. Physico–chemical, microscopic and technological properties were performed on raw materials and fired probes incorporated with 0 wt.% to 15 wt.% DPS made by dry compression technique, dried and fired at 700°C, 800°C and 900°C. Leaching ...
