AbstractBackground: One of the most important environmental pollutants that there is in sewage of different industrials is cyanide to cause pollution of water sources that are dangerous to humans and the environment. Cyanide can be removed in different ways from the aqueous media, but most of these methods are costly. Therefore, the aim of this study is the removal cyanide using iron nanoparticles. Material and Methods: Removal of cyanide from aqueous media using iron nanoparticles in various conditions including the effect of the adsorbent, initial cyanide concentration, contact time and pH were studied in discontinuous phase. In this study, adsorption equilibrium and also the kinetics of the reaction examined.Results: In the process of sharing discontinuous, the balance was achieved after 120 minutes of contact time and maximum amount of removal cyanide in the pH =11 for cyanide concentration of 2.5 mg/L and 1 gr of nanoparticle over 97% obtained. Also the results showed that the adsorption process fitted with Langmuir isotherm and chemical kinetic fitted with of secondary grade.Conclusion: According to the findings, iron nanoparticles can be used as a suitable option for removal cyanide from aqueous solution in hazardous waste. Keywords: iron nanoparticles, cyanide, hazardous waste

Background and objectives: Cyanide ion is one of the most dangerous compounds for the man. Electrocoagulation process with high efficiency to removing pollutants, than researchers considered a effective process. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of electrocoagulation process by aluminum electrodes in cyanide removal from synthetic wastewater using magnesium oxide as a coagulantaid.
Mehods: In this study, a reactor with four aluminum electrodes with dimensions 200 × 20 × 2 mm use of 1 Liter of useful volume of electricity generating device for the removal of cyanide was used. Effect of parameters such as pH(3-9), voltage (10-30 V), the initial concentration of cyanide(50-500 ppm) and different concentrations of magnesium oxide particles (0.1 to 1 mg l) as coagulant aid in the process were investigated.
Results: The results show that the efficiency of EC process at pH 5, voltage of 30 V and an initial concentration of cyanide, 50 mg/lit in 45 minutes, was 80 percent. process will Efficiency by adding coagulant aid. In optimal amounts of coagulant aid (0.1 mg/lit) in electrocoagulation process on the removal of the cyanide 90% was achieved.
Conclusion: Electrocoagulation process is suitable process for the removal of cyanide. Also, Magnesium Oxide as a coagulant aid in this process was good and increase process efficiency.
