Vaezian School of Mining, Petroleum & Geophysics Engineering, Shahrood University of Technology, Shahrood, Iran Journal Article 2016 09 06 In the environment, two main sources of heavy metals are natural backgrounds derived from parent rocks and anthropogenic contamination including mineral industrial wastes, tailing damps of sulfide mines, agrochemicals, and other outputs of industrial activities and factories. In this work, the physico-chemical aspects of the magnetic Nano- mineral surfaces are studied in contrast to acid mine drainage using the multi- -analytical techniques XRF, XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, FT-IR, and AFM before and after adsorption of toxic elements. According to the results obtained, the FT-IR analysis presents a suitable curve, showing that the adsorption site of the sorption is filled with Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions. The results obtained show that the adsorption reaction is due to the high removal of the toxic elements from acid mine drainages. https://jme.shahroodut.ac.ir/article_736_498d783360f07c0579b6821e07b57668.pdf
