Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
The removal of nickel ions in wastewater by enhanced ultrafiltration and adsorption was studied. Nickel ions was firstly complexed with PAA (Polymer acrylic acid) to increase the molecular weight which was larger than the molecular weight cut-off (WMCO) of the ultrafiltration membrane. Then the nickel ions contained in the concentrated solution was removed by peat. The effects of pH, dosage of PAA, background electrolyte and copper ions were studied as well. The results showed that the pH, dosage of PAA and existence of copper ions affected the removal of nickel ions, while the background electrolyte had no effects. And the treated peat is an effective adsorbent for the removal of nickel ions in the concentrated solution.
