Adsorption studies of heavy metal solutions using corn cobs adsorbents
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2012-05)In this study, corn cobs were utilized as an adsorbent to remove heavy metals (Cu and Zn) from aqueous solution. The influences of initial Cu (II) and Zn (II) ion concentration (25 - 200 ppm) with contact time, temperature ... -
Comparison of soil and water pollution concentration determine using Aaomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) and X-Ray fluorescence Radioisotope (XRF) Techniques
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2011-05)The objective of this research was to determine the differences between XRF and AAS techniques and also to determine the most suitable techniques to identify the content of heavy metal. Materials used were from contaminated ... -
Determination of adsorption mechanism of Cerbera Odollam as an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2012-05)Industrial waste constitutes the major source of various kinds of metal pollution in natural water. Adsorption is one of the alternatives for such cases as an effective purification and separation technique used in industry ... -

(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2015-06)This study was held out on by bioremediation technique to remediate heavy metal that is from Harum Manis farms. This research is conducted in conjunction to examine the effectiveness of organic and phosphate amendments ... -
Lateritic soil for removal of zinc in wastewater
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2010-04)Zinc is some of environmental pollutants and is toxic even at very low concentrations. Domestic and industrial discharges are probably the two most important sources for zinc in the water environment. There is still facing ... -
Study of heavy metal contamination in soils due to human activities
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2012-05)An assessment was made on six (6) different site soils based on human activities in the selected sites in Kangar. The concentrations of five (5) heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Ni, Pb and Zn) in these soils were investigated. Soil ... -
Study on effect of Vermicomposting towards heavy metal in polluted soil
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2015-06)An assessment was made on soil from mango farm in Kampung Behor Janggus, Perlis. Types and percentages of heavy metal in the soil sample are determined by using X-Ray Fluorescene (XRF). Three (3) concentrations of the ...
