Abstract

Todays, the application of science and advanced technologies, the management of quality risks imposed on environmental resources, has particular importance. Considering the toxicity of wastewater agricultural, industrial, and domestic effluents on the environment, a thorough and separate study of the toxic wastewater treatment and contaminated water, in general, seems necessary to complete the non-destructive development process. In this regard, to recover compounds containing heavy metals and pollutants such as copper, in wastewater containing harmful fertilizers and pesticides, the production of nanofibers (polymer nanoparticles) in the form of electrospray (under four treatments of solute concentration, applied voltage, Injection Needle and Injection rate), using electrospinning machine and selected polymeric Polyacrylamide Methacrylate and Dimethylmethyl Formamide solvent with using the low-cost raw materials approach for the selected hazardous pollutants. The nanoparticle production technology was used in the form of wire blasting (under four concentrations of nanoparticle solution concentration, the diameter of carbon wires used, flow and arc force), also. Finally, by extracting the results in each phase, their analysis was carried out and the results showed that the combination of the polymer treatment with dimethylformamide solvent at 25 wt%, applied voltage kV. 30, the distance between the tip of the needle and the plate 15 cm and the feeding rate of 2 ml / h worked best. Thus, with the preparation of nanofibers and the use of relatively inexpensive laboratory materials, compared to the costly methods of water treatment, significant results were observed in the process of removal of toxic copper > 50% in all selected samples indicated a positive and high effect of the nanoparticles-nanofibers.
