Waste materials with no further treatment such as orange barks from commercial oranges may act as adsorbent for the removal of Pb. Batch kinetic and equilibrium experiments were conducted to study the effects of contact time, initial pH, adsorbent dose and initial concentration of lead. The results show that the equilibrium was achieved less than 30 min of contact time. Three adsorption isother...

This research determined the adsorption performance of Florisil® impregnated with trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride (Cyphos IL-101) in the process of Cs+ removal from aqueous solutions. The obtained Florisil® impregnated with the studied ionic liquid was characterized through energy dispersive X-ray analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in order to verify that the impregna...

Currently, marine protein byproducts are mainly hydrolyzed and prepared for applications that depend on their physiological activity. Such uses require strict removal of heavy metal ions from the material. In this work, a green approach was proposed using peanut shells as adsorbent to remove Pb(II) from solutions containing amino acid and sodium chloride. The effects of amino acids and sodium c...

The potential of activated carbons--powdered (PAC) and granular (GAC), for the adsorption of acrylonitrile (AN) at different initial AN concentrations (50<or=C(0)<or=500 mg/l) from aqueous solutions was studied over the temperature range of 303-333 K. The effect of adsorbent dosage, initial AN concentration, contact time, and the change in pH with addition of adsorbents on adsorption was studie...

Adsorption of Nickel(II) ion onto Activated Carbon prepared from Delonix regia pods activated with Zinc chloride (DRZAC) under various experimental conditions were studied. Batch mode adsorption experiments were conducted. The characteristics of the DRZAC were determined by SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET analysis and pHZPC. The maximum removal efficiency of Ni(II) ion is 85% at pH 6. Under the chosen cond...

The adsorptive capability of superheated steam activated biochar (SSAB) produced from Colocasia esculenta was investigated for removal of Cu(2+), Fe(2+) and As(5+) from simulated coal mine wastewater. SSAB was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyser. Adsorption isotherm indicated monolayer adsorption which fitted...

The adsorption studies of phenol from aqueous solution on allium sativum peel have been studied in the range of 50-250 mg/L initial phenol concentration .The study was carried out as function of contact time, pH, initial phenol concentration,allium sativum Linn peel dosage and temperature. The experiment demonstrated the maximum phenol was obtained at in pH of 2 and it takes 6h to attain equili...

The chemical adsorption isotherm reveals information about the active surface of a material and has been employed for many years as a standard analytical tool for the evaluation of catalysts. Temperature-programmed reaction techniques have emerged from the 1950’s as an indispensable companion to chemisorption isotherm analyses in many areas of industry and research. This paper provides an intro...
