Adsorption of nickel (II) from water

In recent years, while the world is in the process of high technological and scientific development, it has been confronted the danger of spoiling the equilibrium in the ecological system. Studies should be made to solve problem of spoiled equilibrium in the ecological system.Environmental pollution is caused by in large proportion by the water pollution.The heavy metals in proportion to their concentration in the waste water cause dangers for many species living in there.One elimination method of heavy metals from the waste water is the Adsorption of heavy metals.In this study; in the case of exceeding a specific limit, nickel is having toxic effect on the living structures, the adsorption of nickel on bottom ash, volcanic tuff, clinoptilolite has been investigated.The study consists of two parts.In the first part principal factors affecting the Adsorption were investigated.Suitable mix rate, pH, particle size of adsorbent, concentration, amount of adsorbent, temperature were investigated and the optimum conditions were determined for nickel (II) solutions.In the second part, adsorption test of mineral water were studied in these optimum conditions for all the adsorbent subtances. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of bottom ash, volcanic tuff, clinoptilolite was obtained about % 98,70, %95,56, %99,22 respectivety.
