The phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) has been used as an adsorbent for the removal of dyes (Methylene blue and Congo red dye) from synthetic aqueous solution. Different factors of the adsorbent, like, contact time, pH of the sorption medium, concentration of the dye solution, were investigated by the batch sorption experiment. The adsorption equilibrium data was best fitted by the Langmuir isotherm m...

The organic-inorganic hybrid material of polyaniline/titanium(IV) (PANI/Ti(HPO4)2) was synthesized by an oxidative polymerization reaction. The PANI/Ti(HPO4)2 was applied to remove Re(VII). The size of Ti(HPO4)2 nanoplates has no obvious effect on the sorption capacity. The effects of various environmental factors (such as pH, extra anions (NO3(-) and MO4(2-)) and temperature) on Re(VII) sorpti...

In recent years, biosorption is being considered as an environmental friendly technology for the recovery of rare earth metals (REE). This study investigates the optimal conditions for the biosorption of neodymium (Nd) from an aqueous solution derived from hard drive disk magnets using green microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris). The parameters considered include solution pH, temperature and biosorbe...

Nanostructured composite sorbent of Mg/Al-aminobenzoate layered double hydroxide was prepared by coprecipitation method. The particle size of the nanocomposite was found to be 10-20 nm. Sorption performance of the prepared material was studied for removal of cobalt ion from aqueous solution. The percent uptake of cobalt ion was found to be 96.1%. The loading capacity of Mg/Alaminobenzoate compo...

A new polymeric resin poly(maleic acid –acrylamide )-Cesium P(MA-AM)-Cs was prepared by gamma radiation-induced co-polymerization of maleic acid ( MA) with acrylamide (AM) in the presence of cesium chloride CsCl as a metal salt in aqueous solution route at 25 KGy to be used as a sorbent. The polymeric resin was characterized using Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), simultaneous th...

amino acids have been extensively used in several processes of the pharmaceutical and food industries. treatments for the recovery and reuse of the wastewaters generated from these processes are few and little known. this work aims at studying the influence of different variables on the sorption of l-cysteine, contained in aqueous solutions, on clinoptilolite mineral. l-cysteine (cys) was sorbe...

nanoparticles of manganese-dioxide synthesized by mechano-chemical reaction were used foras(iii) and as(v) sorption from water environment. the influence of a milling time of manganese-dioxide on sorption was examined with batch procedure. sorption as a function of contact time was investigated. kinetic of sorption, for both as(iii) and as(v), was fast. the equilibrium condition for milled sorb...

In this study, the sorption of Malachite green (MG) on Hydrilla verticillata biomass, a submerged aquatic plant, was investigated in a batch system. The effects of operating parameters such as temperature, adsorbent dosage, contact time, adsorbent size, and agitation speed on the sorption of Malachite green were analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM). The proposed quadratic model for...
