Heavy Metals Removal from Wastewaters by Sorption Processes
Journal Title: BULETINUL INSTITUTULUI POLITEHNIC DIN IASI, CHIMIE SI INGINERIE CHIMICA - Year 2018, Vol 64, Issue 1
Abstract
The habilitation thesis presents the most significant results of the researches oriented towards polymeric materials (organic synthetic resins and polyurethane foams) and waste materials as sorption media for heavy metal ions. Some new chelating sorbents have been prepared by covalent immobilization of desired groups, also by some special, noncovalent methods. The proposed polymer sorbents have enhanced efficiency and good selectivity towards targeted precious and toxic heavy metal ions. Some indigenous wastes (hemp, rapeseed, Romanian pine bark, fly ash) have been investigated as potential sorbents for Cu(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) ions. The obtained results of are significant for the future development of the tested wastes into beneficial materials for industrial and environmental applications.
