Several Schiff bases have recently been investigated as corrosion inhibitors for various metals and alloys in acid media [24, 25]. The inhibition of corrosion by Schiff bases can be attributed to its molecules with π-electrons of –C=Ngroups and π-electrons of aromatic ring.

Coordination numbers of lanthanide complexes are in range from six to twelve, eight and nine being the most common coordination numbers. Lanthanides are weak Lewis acids and preferably coordinate to hard Lewis bases like oxygen. In this paper, we report synthesis of eight Schiff base complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Hg(II), Fe(III), La(III) and Sm(III)metal ions. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, solid reflectance, FT-IR and fluorescence spectroscopy, thermal analysis and molar conductance.

Researchers later proved that heavy metalsgenerally poses a great deal of problems to mankind due to its presence in the environment at concentrations above threshold(Seker et al., 2008).Anthropogenic activities such as industrial effluents, mining, smelting, manufacture of explosives, metal plating, domestic effluents, leaching and run-offs from garbage are responsible for the risen cases of these toxic elements in the environment(Trueby, 2003). and the danger associated to the presence of these heavy metals have been attributed to bioconcentration and bioaccumulation in the food web in different locations (Nussey, 1998) enhanced by their ability to be transported to a distance usually by water(Bradl, 2005). Heavy metal pollution of the environment is now one of the most serious environmental problems worldwide which calls for ways of remediation because they are acutely and exceedingly toxic, indestructible (non-biodegradable) and they bioaccumulates thereby causing different health complications e.g. lead poisoning damages the kidney, liver, brain, reproductive systems and even the nervous systems (Naiya et al., 2009).

Ripe olive fruits are harvested for two main reasons. They can be processed to yield pitted or un-pitted table olives or pressed to generate olive oil. In all cases there are by-products that need to be managed in a proper way to avoid their negative impacts on the environment. According to previous statistics covering the 2014-2016 period, about 176,000 olive trees were planted in Jordan [1,2].The main reason for the growing interest in planting olive trees is to produce olive oil and table olives in sufficient amounts to cope with the needs of the growing population in Jordan and to improve the income of many families. For example, in 2014 the self-sufficiency ratios of preserved olives and olive oil were estimated to be 114.3 and 103.4 %, respectively [3]. Recent statistics indicate that the number of olive trees in Jordan was 11.848 million trees [1]. In 2015 and 2014 olive harvest seasons, 156,639 and 118,215 tons of olive fruits were used for oil production, respectively. For the 2015 harvest season, 62.32 % of the pressed fruits was a harvest of the northern region of Jordan, while those harvested from central and southern regions were 26.23 and 11.45 %, respectively. These percentages are in accord with the geographical distribution of the number of trees in these regions [4].There are four types of olive mills in Jordan. Based on their oil extraction method, the four types are: the traditional press mill, the two-phase mill, the two-and-half-phase mill, and the three-phase mill. The most common type is the three-phase olive mills [5].Currently, the olive oil production is handled by 128 olive mills with regional distribution of 70%, 22%, and 8% in northern, central, and southern regions of Jordan, respectively. An input output analysis of the olive mills used in Jordan was reported [5]. The quantity and quality of the produced liquid and solid by-products depend on the type of the olive mill used for olive oil extraction [5]. For example, the percentage of moisture content of the fresh solid residue was estimated to be 26.15-28.25,48.30-52.17, and 54.6158.99 % for traditional mills, three-phase mills, and two-phase mills, respectively [5]. Other characteristics of the raw olive mill solid residue such as the content of residual fatty material, mineral content (ash), polyphenols, total carbon, and the carbon/ nitrogen ratio were also found to depend on the type of the olive mill [5].The four types of olive mills also have different rates for generating the Abstract: Samples of exhausted olive pomace were prepared from six slurry and sun-dried agglomerated raw olive pomace samples via Soxhlet hexane extraction treatment.
