The applicability of Polyetheretherketone/Polyvinylalcohol Nanocomposite Modified with Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles synthesized for eliminating humic acid rapidly from industrial wastewater. Identical techniques, including BET, FTIR, XRD, and SEM have been utilized to characterize this novel material. Also, the impacts of variables including initial humic acids (HAs) concentration (X1), pH (X2), adsorbent dosage (X3), and sonication time (X4) came under scrutiny using central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). The values of 10 mgL-1, 6.0, 0.025 g, and 5.0 min were investigated through batch experiments, considered as the ideal values for humic acids (HAs) concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time, respectively. Adsorption equilibrium and kinetic data were fitted with the Langmuir monolayer isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2: 0.999) with maximum adsorption capacity (102.0 mgg-1), respectively.  The overall results confirmed that Polyetheretherketone/Polyvinylalcohol Nanocomposite Modified with Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles could be a promising adsorbent material for humic acids (HAs) removal from industrial wastewater.

Domestic and industrial wastewater contributed to some urban wastewater, which requires specific processing before being disposed into surface waters or reused for irrigation. This paper aimed to employ kaolin as an adsorbent to remove heavy metals from wastewater, as well as aeration and alum to remove nutrients. Experiment were conducted in three parts: first, involved using the aeration method to determine the ideal amount of time to remove or minimize the nutrients. Second, involves treating the solution with potassium alum using various alum doses at the obvious times to eliminate or minimize the nutrients, while third step involves treating the solution with kaolin ore with a size of < 63 µm at various doses, pH, and contact times to remove heavy metals. The findings showed that the aeration method completely removed CO3, OH, PO4, NO3, Ca, and Mn ions after contact time equal 120, 24, 192, 24, 120, and 48 hrs, respectively. Applaying alum treatment method can remove completely CO3, OH, PO4, NO3, and Mn, after contact time 120, 24, 120, 24, and 24 hrs, respectively. When Kaolin ore used as adsorbent, the removal efficiency of  Fe, Cd, Cr, Cu, Sr, Mn, and Zn were; 92, 100, 100, 100, 94, 100, and 88 % ,respectively in 24 hours contact time. The experiment succeeds in treatment of industrial wastewater that was within the range of specified limitations for disposing into surface water or reuse in irrigation field as stated by Egyptian standard code using the three successive treatment techniques.
