Chemophysical Evaluation of Green Sorption Media for Copper Removal in Stormwater Runoff for Improving Ecosystem and Human Health

Adsorption Kinetics of Cadmium and Lead by Biochars in Single- and Bisolute Brackish Water Systems

“…There is considerable concern with respect to the adsorption–desorption of HMs from adsorbents in the adsorption system due to the change in pH and salinity. A number of studies have been conducted on the impact of saline concentration on the removal capacity of an adsorbent, , and most of the previous studies have worked on the efficacy of the adsorbent in a single-solute system, ,, with simplified matrices and important environmental parameters , (e.g., salinity, pH, single and binary solute systems of Pb­(II) and Cd­(II)); the effect of other ionic species and environmental aspects were not considered. Salinity plays an important role in shrimp aquaculture farming, as changes in salinity can reduce growth performance, induce stress, lead to a low rate of survival, and seriously disturb the osmoregulation system of cultured species .…”

Effectiveness of two lightweight aggregates for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated urban stormwater

“…For example, the column experiments conducted by Petrella et al (2019) demonstrated the capability of recycled lignocellulosic materials to act as ion sorbents in wastewater. Valencia et al (2018) studied the sorption mechanisms of Cu, Pb and Zn in urban stormwater by employing laboratory columns filled with a mixture of coconut coir, expanded clay and tyre chips, obtaining conclusive results from the viewpoint of Cu removal. Wang et al (2016) conducted a stormwater runoff simulation to evaluate the effects of different filling media in a bioretention plant and column experiments to evaluate the Cd removal efficiency.…”
