Anion adsorption on the aluminum oxide, gibbsite, was investigated as a function of solution pH (3Y11) and equilibrium solution Mo (3.13, 31.3, or 313 Kmol/L), P (96.9 Kmol/L), or S (156 Kmol/L) concentration. Adsorption of all three anions decreased with increasing pH. Electrophoretic mobility measurements indicated a downward shift in point of zero charge, indicative of an inner-sphere adsorp...

The measured dynamic surface tension of a water drop in air saturated by heptane vapor shows a sharp decrease from about 60 mN m−1 to 40 mN m−1, and less after a certain adsorption time. The observed adsorption kinetics is analyzed by a theoretical model based on multilayer adsorption of alkanes from the vapor phase at the water surface. The model assumes a dependence of the kinetic coefficient...

background and purpose: azo dyes including direct blue 71 (db71) are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic contaminants in effluents of industries. this study aimed to investigate the adsorption of db71 from aqueous solution onto pistachio hull waste (phw) as a low-cost adsorbent. materials and methods: a series of experiments were performed via batch adsorption technique to examine the effect of t...

In this study, we prepared 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) functionalized sodium alginate (SA) porous membrane adsorbent (APTEOS/SA) and tested its adsorption performance for removing of Cr(III) ions. The physico-chemical properties of the pristine and Cr(III) ions loaded APTEOS/SA were investigated by FT-IR, SEM-EDX, TG, AFM, and contact angle goniometer methods. To investigate the adso...

The present work was carried out to evaluate the removal of p-nitrophenol by adsorption onto olive cake based activated carbon having a BET surface area of 672 m²/g. The batch adsorption experimental results indicated that the equilibrium time for nitrophenol adsorption by olive cake-based activated carbon was 120min. The adsorption data was modeled by equilibrium and kinetic models. The pseudo...

Background and purpose:The presence of dyes in wastewaters may cause serious problems for the environment because of their high toxicity to aquatic organisms and unfavorable aesthetical impact. In the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used for removal of anionic dyes Direct Blue 106 (DB106) and Acid Green 25 (AG25), from water samples. Materials and Methods:MWCNTs were ...

In this study, the adsorption of mercury ions by Sargassum bevanom (S. bevanom) by batch method was investigated. The optimum operating parameters such adsorbent dosage, contact time, and pH, were obtained as: a biomass dose of 0.4 g in 100 ml of mercury solution, contact time of 90 mins and pH 7, respectively. Three equations Morris –Weber, Lagergren and pseudo second order are tested to verif...

conclusions the study results showed that by increasing the initial dye concentration and contact time, the adsorption capacity increased, as well. moreover, the thermodynamic parameters (δh °, δg °, and δs °) revealed the endothermic sorption of rr-198 onto mwcnts. results the rr-198 absorption rates were 33.26 and 222.88 mg/g, respectively for 20, and 200 mg/l dye concentration, at ph of 3, 6...

in this study, removal of acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate mcm-41 modified by aminopropyltriethoxysilane (aptes) composite was studied. properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by sem, edx and ftir. results show that langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order m...

We present a generalized crossover (GC) model for the excess adsorption of pure fluids at a flat solid-liquid interface, which reproduces scaling behavior of the excess adsorption in the critical region and is reduced to the classical, van der Waals-type analytical model far away from the bulk critical point. In developing this model, we used the density-functional theory (DFT) approach for the...
