چکیده
Introduction: Heavy metals (HMs) are one of the most important and dangerous pollutants in water resources. This study aimed to determine the HMs concentrations in city water purifier devices or stations in Rafsanjan, Iran in ۲۰۲۲. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted descriptively and on a laboratory scale on the input and output of ۱۶ city water purifier devices stations in Rafsanjan in the summer of ۲۰۲۲. Heavy metals and other metals including arsenic (As), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) were tested by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrophotometry (ICP-MS). Also, t-test statistical analysis was used by SPSS software. Results: The mean concentrations of HMs in the output of city water purifier devices for As, Pb, Cr, Cu, and Zn were ≤ ۱, ۲.۸۴ ± ۰.۷۱, ۸.۴۸ ± ۱.۵۱, ۲.۵۱ ± ۱.۵۵, and ۱۸.۵۸ ± ۹.۲۴ µg/L, respectively. The difference between the output of water purifier devices and standard values for As, Cr, and Cu was significant (p ≤ ۰.۰۰۱). Other metals concentrations in the output of water purifier devices for Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, and K were ۰.۰۳ ± ۰.۰۰۸, ۶.۷۲ ± ۰.۹۲, ۸.۳۸ ± ۱.۷۱, ۶۴.۱۱ ± ۲.۵۶, and ۲.۳۴ ± ۰.۰۸ µg/L, respectively. The HMs removal efficiency of city water purifier devices for As, Cu, and Pb were ≥ ۹۹%, ۸۳.۳۳%, and ۵۶.۳۳%, respectively. Conclusion: The HMs removal efficiency of city water purifier devices stations in Rafsanjan City was appropriate due to the use of filters containing alumina and iron hydroxide media.کلیدواژه ها
