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 ... -
Analysis of manganese and zinc in rice rain and rice husk with modification of sulfuric acid digestion method
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2014-06)Heavy metal is abundant in nature and it has been widely used in many types of industrial activities. The overuse of pesticides without limit and improper waste disposal activities were among of the most significant cause ... -
Assessment of heavy metals in sediment and its effect on fish near jetty Sungai Bahru, Kuala Perlis
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2015-06)Aquatic organism and sediment closely related each other in absorbing heavy metal from surrounding and accumulate in their body tissues and its surface area. The concentration of heavy metals including Chromium, Copper, ... -
Bacteria isolation and bioremedation of heavy metal in sediment of coastal area
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2015-06)Coastal area sediments are normally contaminated with heavy metals resulted from the anthropogenic activities that occurs daily such as boat and ferries activities. The types of heavy metals that are identified in the ... -

(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2012-05)Leachate contains contaminants consists of organic and inorganic material. An inorganic pollutants exit in leachate is heavy metal. The heavy metal or toxic inorganic chemicals most commonly found in Leachate is Manganese, ... -
Identification and Phytoremediation of heavy metal in sediment phase of Kuala Perlis and it effects to cockles
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2015-06)Sediment and aquatic organism absorb heavy metal from surrounding and accumulate in their body tissue and its surface area. The tissue of cockles is relatively eaten by the local people as other marine organism along the ... -
Lateritic soil for the treatment of chromium (Vi) in wastewater
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2010-04)Lateritic soil is the result from the formation of hot and humid tropical regions that enriched in iron and aluminium and have been developed with intensive and long lasting sediment from main rocks. Lateritic soil can ... -
