Effectiveness of Non-Chromate Inhibitors on Preventing Corrosion of Aluminum Alloys
Because it is known that the adsorption of ions on a metal affects the corrosion resistance of that metal, ion adsorption on aluminum is an important issue. In this study, the adsorption/accumulation of proposed inhibiting ions on aluminum has been studied using a radioactive labeling method. …

Bacterial poly-gamma-Glutamic Acid (y-PGA) - a promising biosorbent of heavy metals
… and can be used safely in a variety of applications that are increasing rapidly. This study investigated the production of HMW γ-PGA by five Bacillus species (B. licheniformis 1525, B. licheniformis NCTC 6816, B. licheniformis ATCC 9945a, B. licheniformis ATCC 9945a and B. subtilis (natto) ATCC …

Sequestration of metal and metalloid ions by thermophilic bacteria
This Ph. D. thesis presents results and conclusions from studies 1) investigating the interaction between metal and metalloid ions and thermophilic bacteria, and 2) characterizing microbial populations in a geothermally active habitat with relatively high concentrations of metalloid ions and …

Synthesis and characterisation of low-cost biopolymeric/mineral composite systems and evaluation of their potential application for heavy metal removal
Heavy metal pollution and waste management are two major environmental problems faced in the world today. Anthropogenic sources of heavy metals, especially effluent from industries, are serious environmental and health concerns by polluting surface and ground waters. Similarly, on a global scale, …
