Abstract
A study is made of the removal of metals present in aqueous effluents using a residue of the steelmaking industry denominated rolling mill scale. Mill scale can be considered a cheap material for the removal of toxic metals due to its high content in iron oxides and metallic iron. A study of the removal of Cd +2 , Zn +2 , Pb +2 y Cu +2 ions from aqueous solutions was made, studying several variables that affect the process. The removal of cadmium, zinc and lead corresponding to a superficial adsorption process, was evaluated using the theories of Langmuir and Freundlich. The removal of copper occurs through a process of oxidation-reduction or cementation (Cu +2 /Fe 0 ). The possibilities of desorption were studied too.
