Utilization of agricultural waste (Phasoleus vulgaris L, Prunus Cerasifera - Myrobalan) for wastewater treatment high in Cd, Cr, Pb and Zn by sorption

Abstract

The use of sorption technology for the removal of contaminants of waste streams is favorable when biological treatments are not applicable. Utilization of agricultural waste for sorption is one of the alternative technologies for cleaning of industrial wastewaters. This part of the utilization of industrial wastes for wastewater treatment project aims to investigate the use of bean-pods Phasoleus vulgaris L and plum nuts Prunus cerasifera – myrobalan as a sorbent, verify the chemical and thermal activation of the sorbent and investigate the sorption of Cd, Cr, Pb and Zn from syntheticaly prepared waste water.
