A voltammetric method for determining free metal activities in aqueous solutions. Part 2: anodic stripping voltammetry of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in synthetic and soil solutions
Theory and methodology for determining the free metal activity, (M2+), of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn by anodic stripping voltammetry is presented. Metal-buffer solutions were prepared to control (M2+), which was varied by using different ligands and by changing pH. Total metal aqueous concentration of 10-6–10-7M and metal-ligand ratios of 1:20M, 0.010M acetate medium were used. Equations for reversible ...

A voltammetric method for determining free metal activities in aqueous solutions. Part 1: direct current voltammetry of Cd, Cu, and Pb
A selective and sensitive method for determining free metal activities (M2+) for Cd, Cu and Pb in aqueous solutions is presented based on the Lingane and DeFord and Hume models. Electrochemical and complexation studies were carried out by direct current voltammetry (DCV) and by metal ion selective electrodes (ISE) as a reference method. A voltammetric equation was tested to evaluate (M2+) by ...

Analysis of mine water from four decommissioned pits in south-western Ghana – implications for remediation programmes for mine closure
Research into water quality status of accumulated water in decommissioned pits is a grey area in Ghana and could be of significant benefit in the effectiveness of remediation of pits after mining. Water sampled from four decommissioned pits in Amansie West District were analysed for their water quality status. Seasonal variations of physico-chemical parameters for determining water quality ...

Removing Heavy Metal Contamination in Wastewater Using Clinoptilolite Zeolite
Research shows that natural zeolite can remove trace heavy metals from the wastewater of ink and pigment production, which can mitigate the toxic pollution into waterways. Most inks and dyes used in the printing industry contain trace heavy metals. These elements, when released into the environment during manufacturing, pose severe health risks to humans and wildlife. The heavy metals found in ...

Determination of Major Electrolytes, Minor Minerals, and Trace Heavy Metals in Physiological Fluids by Flame and Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Accurate measurements of specific metals in various biological systems is extremely important. These metals can be classified into several groups: the high level major electrolytes (Na, K, Ca, Mg), which are crucial to normal primary physiological processes like cellular activity and metabolism; the minor minerals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Co, Cu), which are present in lower levels to act as metabolic ...

Research on Technology of Sludge Drying Complete Equipment
Sludge reduction, harmlessness, and resource utilization are the topics of sludge treatment today, but the problem of excessive sludge moisture content seriously restricts the development of sludge treatment technology. Through the description of the status quo of sludge heat pump drying technology, its working principle, air treatment process and general design points of drying equipment are ...

Working Document on Sludge
Untitled Document Introduction Sewage sludge originates from the process of treatment of waste water. Due to the physical-chemical processes involved in the treatment, the sludge tends to concentrate heavy metals and poorly biodegradable trace organic compounds as well as potentially pathogenic organisms – viruses, bacteria etc. – present in waste water. Sludge is, however, ...

Assessment of levels and “health-effects” of airborne particulate matter in mining, metal refining and metal working industries
The increased awareness of occupational health, hygiene and safety in recent years has resulted in improvement of working conditions and in reducing workers’ exposure to many toxic substances. However, substantial hazards remain, the number of cases of occupational illness due to hazardous exposure is still high, and new cases will continue to occur if there are no further improvements. During ...

Organochlorine and trace metal contaminants in the food web of the light-footed clapper rail, Upper Newport Bay, California
Untitled Document EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Upper Newport Bay (UNB) is an ecological reserve of the California Department of Fish and Game and serves as refuge, foraging areas, and breeding grounds for a number of federal- or state-listed threatened and endangered species, including the Light-footed Clapper Rail or clapper rail (Rallus longirostris levipes). In 1996, the Santa Ana ...

What is Sustainable Flocculation and What are Sustainable Flocculants?
What is Sustainable Flocculation? In most standard drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, there is a flocculation process that is used to reduce the concentrations of solids within the effluent stream. This particular process makes use of substances that aid in the clumping together of suspended particles among other contaminants in a clarifier system. Sustainable flocculation ...

Drought prone, and thriving
Collated by the team at Soil matters & Viafos. Luke Jamison (Farm Manager) Charles Wiffen (Farm Owner) Inverness Station is based in Parnassus, North Canterbury. Like many farms in this area, soil, plant and animal production have all been negatively impacted by drought. The drought has changed farming systems and has forced farmers to adjust their operations to remain profitable. This is ...

Waste water treatment costs reduced by 50% with rotary vacuum precoat filter - Case Study
Problem: The solids separation system at Lindc's waste water treatment facility had high operating, maintenance and sludge disposal costs. High operating costs were caused by the large pumps and special treatment chemical required to operate the filter, and frequent cleaning, repair and replacement of filter elements resulted in high maintenance costs. Union Carbide Corporation's Linde Division ...

What is Zeoturb Bio-Organic Liquid Flocculant Treatment?
In most standard water treatment systems, there is a flocculation process that is used to reduce the concentrations of solids within the effluent stream. This particular process makes use of substances that aid in the clumping together of suspended particles. There are several different substances that have been used for decades, but research continues looking for more. Ideally, newer flocculants ...

Evaluation of airborne heavy metal pollution from European sources
An improved MSC-East model for the evaluation of the atmospheric concentration and deposition of heavy metals in Europe and adjoining regions is described. At present, modelling of lead, zinc, arsenic, cadmium and mercury concentrations is carried out within the EMEP grid. At the same time, MSC East performs model calculations within the whole northern hemisphere to the north of 20°N. Each ...
