2. 1. Removal of metals from contaminated waters : Evaluating the use of synthetic adsorbents and green algae biomass

   Author : Roxana Quiroga Flores; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; metals; toxicity; Adsorption; uptake; arsenic; cadmium; lead; methylmercury;

   Abstract : Metal contamination of water bodies has attracted global attention owing to its environmental toxicity, abundance and persistence. Metals such as arsenic, cadmium and mercury are of greater concern since they are toxic even at low concentrations. READ MORE

4. 2. Alternative Adsorption Materials for Treatment of Contaminated Waters

   Author : Yuliya Kalmykova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adsorption; Sphagnum peat; Heavy metals; Fiber ash;

   Abstract : The thesis presents a study of adsorbent materials for treatment of contaminated waters and remediation of contaminated soils. Natural and waste product materials showed high adsorption capacity for metals and organic pollutants and proved to be a good alternative to commercial adsorbents. READ MORE

5. 3. Assessment of waters with complex contamination : Effect-based methods for evaluating wastewater treatment requirements and efficiency

   Author : Veronica Ribé; Åke Forsberg; Monica Odlare; Emma Nehrenheim; Rune Berglind; Magnus Breitholtz; Mälardalens högskola; []
