Cadmium removal from aqueous solution by jackfruit seed bio-adsorbent

Mercury removal from aqueous solutions by palm leaves adsorbent

Mercury is a carcinogenic and teratogenic compound that tends to accumulate in water solutions. In this research, the removal of mercury from an aqueous solution was evaluated by using palm leaves. Experiments were performed to study the adsorption efficiency, the effect of the adsorbent amount, the balance time, the adsorbate concentration, and the pH on mercury removal. The experimental appar...

Removal of Cadmium and Lead Ions from Aqueous Solution by Nanocrystalline Magnetite Through Mechanochemical Activation

In this study, the removal of cadmium and lead ions from aqueous solution by nanocrystalline magnetite was investigated. The nanocrystalline magnetite was synthesized by mechanochemical activation of hematite in a high energy planetary mill in argon atmosphere for 45 hours. The ability of the synthesized nanocrystalline magnetite for removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions was studi...

Cadmium Removal from Aqueous Solution by Canola Residues: Adsorption Equilibrium and Kinetics

Chromium(VI) Removal from Aqueous Solution by Magnetite Coated by a Polymeric Ionic Liquid-Based Adsorbent

An evaluation of the chromium(VI) adsorption capacity of four magnetite sorbents coated with a polymer phase containing polymethacrylic acid or polyallyl-3-methylimidazolium is presented. Factors that influence the chromium(VI) removal such as solution pH and contact time were investigated in batch experiments and in stirred tank reactor mode. Affinity and rate constants increased with the mola...

REMOVAL OF CADMIUM FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION USING COBALTSILICATEPRECIPITATIONTUBE (CoSPT) ASADSORBENT

Cobalt silicate precipitation tube (CoSPT), prepared through ‘silica garden’ route was found to be a potential adsorbent for removal of cadmium from aqueous medium. Detail adsorption study of Cd(II) on CoSPT was investigated. Batch adsorption studies were carried out as a function of contact time, adsorbent dose, adsorbate concentration (50-300 mg L-1), temperature (298-323K). Cd(II) loading on...
