  Abstract
  This study was conducted to determine the physicochemical and heavy metals concentration in wastewater used for irrigation purpose along AKTH/ Dental clinic in Tarauni local government, Kano state, Nigeria. The objectives were mainly to evaluate the presence of some physicochemical parameters, heavy metals and E. coli in the samples in the study area, compare with maximum allowable concentration (MAC) of physical, chemical, Heavy metals and E. coli in the samples as specified by WHO/NSDWQ/ Standards. A total of 10 sampling points were selected for the study, the surface water samples were collected and analyzed. Levels of various physicochemical parameters, concentration of some heavy metals and presence of E. coli were determined using standard analytical methods. The results indicated that all the parameters analyzed are within the maximum permissible limits (MPL) recommended by NSDWQ and WHO with exception of alkalinity and Total hardness(TH) level at all the sampling station, taste and odour were found to be objectionable. Also, only sampling station IG shows turbidity level below 5NTU. The presence of E. coli were detected at all the sampling points. Thus, it is concluded that the current status of the water in most of the sampling sites considered for this study is fit as a source of irrigation. This paper also recommended that, the agencies concerned should provide a basis for regular monitoring of water quality status of the study area.

  Abstract
  A series of acid catalysed condensation copolymers has been synthesized by using p-nitrophenol, 4,4’-methylenedianilne and formaldehyde with different molar proportions of reacting monomers. Newly synthesized copolymers were proved to be selective chelating ion-exchangers for metal ions like Fe3+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions. A batch equilibrium method has been employed in the study of selectivity of metal ion uptake involving the distribution of given metal ions between the copolymer and a solution containing metal ion. The study was carried out over a wide pH range, shaking time, temperature and in media of various ionic strengths of different electrolytes. Distribution ratios of metal ions were found to be increased by increasing pH of solutions; hence the resins can be used to recover certain metal ions from waste solution. Sorption data obtained at optimized conditions were analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. The adsorption process follows first order kinetics and specific rate constant (Kr) was obtained by the application of Langargren equation. Thermodynamic parameters viz. ΔG, ΔS and ΔH have also been calculated for the metal-resin system.
