turally unrelated dye, fluorescein. The results obtained with this series of compounds are especially striking because the dyes differ only in the nature of the alkyl groups. Still more pronounced effects would be expected in studies of compounds having greater structural differences. Many obvious applications and extensions of these ideas are now being investigated and detailed results will be...

A new type of bonded stationary phase for liquid chromatography, with the properties of immobilized artificial membranes, has been synthesized. Alkyl-phosphate adsorbents were obtained by modification of aminopropyl silica gel. The structures of the synthesized materials were confirmed by use of instrumental techniques--elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and (13)C and (29)Si CP/M...

The as-grown CNTs and graphitized CNTs were used as adsorbents to remove 1,2-dichlorobenzene from water. The experiments demonstrate that it takes only 40 min for CNTs to attain equilibrium and the adsorption capacity of asgrown and graphitized CNTs is 30.8 and 28.7 mg/g, respectively, from a 20 mg/l solution. CNTs can be used as adsorbents in a wide pH range of 3–10. Thermodynamic calculations...

Arvia®, a spin-out company o Manchester, UK is commercialising a water treatm the removal of low concentrations of organics technology is based on the adsorption of organics o adsorbents coupled with their electrochemical simple electrochemical cell. In this paper, the poten to adsorb microorganisms and electrochemicall present in water has been demonstrated. Bench have indicated that the proce...

In this study, nanoscale zero-valent iron nanoparticles (NZVIs) were coated with silica and polydopamine using a two-step process. The coated nanoparticles were applied as adsorbents for removal of two common polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pollutants, phenanthrene (PHE) and anthracene (ANT) from aqueous system. Adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model. Isotherms and thermodyna...

Ultrathin Sb(2)S(5) nanofibers were prepared using a wet chemical method at 50 degrees C and applied as selective adsorbents of Pb ions in water.

Arsenic contamination of water has been recognized as a serious environmental issue and there are reports on its epidemiological problems to human health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performances of iron-coated pumice and manganese-coated pumice as the adsorbents for removing arsenate from aqueous solutions. The effect of various parameters such as adsorbent dose, contact ti...

In the process of crude oil desalination, the aim is to separate dispersed phase of brine from oil phase. The project aim is the use of carbon nano-adsorbent for remov-al of salt from crude oil that, unlike other methods of salt separation from crude oil currently used, is a simple, inexpensive method with good ability to remove salt from crude oil. In this study, first, four types of carbon ad...

The present study seeks to investigate the capacity of polyaniline/titanium dioxide (PAn/TiO2) and Polypyrrole/titanium dioxide (PPy/TiO2) nano-adsorbents to adsorb Congo red anionic dye (CR) from aqueous solution. The variables effective in CR adsorption, including adsorbent dose, pH of the solution, contact time, initial dye concentration, and temperature were examined. The study yielded the ...
