Abstract

Hydroxyapatite has been recognized as an effective sorbent for a variety of heavy metals, radionuclide and organic contaminants such as phenol from water and wastewater. In this paper hydroxyapatite application in chemical industries, particularly in wastewater treatment has been investigated and the effect of solution’s PH, heavy metal type, initial metal concentration and hydroxyapatite physicochemical properties on Hydroxyapatite sorption capacity have been studied.
