Phosphorus adsorption by a water treatment residual was tested through Langmuir and linear sorption isotherms and applied in the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). This study uses laboratory and greenhouse experimental Phosphorus data to evaluate the performance of a modified version of SWAT for high P concentration simulation development. A combination of vegetative filter strips (VFS) and...

volumetric techniques were employed to study the adsorption of co2 on a purified multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwnt’s) sample, as a mesoporous material, at isothermal conditions of 288, 293 and 298 k and pressures ranging from 30 to 150 kpa. langmuir, freundlich and sips equations were used to represent the isotherms. also the parameters of these fitted isotherm models have been determined. the ...

Aluminum-based water treatment residue (Al-WTR) generated during the drinking water treatment process is a readily available recycled material with high phosphorus (P) adsorption capacity. The P adsorption capacity of Al-WTR generated from Singapore’s water treatment plant was evaluated with reference to particle size range, adsorption pH and temperature. Column tests, with WTR amendments in sa...

A NaCl-modified zeolite was used to simultaneously remove nitrogen and phosphate from biogas slurry. The effect of pH, contact time and dosage of absorbants on the removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphate were studied. The results showed that the highest removal efficiency of NH4+-N (92.13%) and PO43--P (90.3%) were achieved at pH 8. While the zeolite doses ranged from 0.5 to 5 g/100 ml, NH...

A zirconium sulfate-surfactant micelle mesostructure (ZS) was synthesized to investigate its capacity for phosphate removal from water. Its phosphate adsorption kinetics, the effect of pH and interfering anions, adsorption isotherm, desorption capacity, and reusability were investigated. The adsorption isotherms could be described by the Langmuir model. The ZS was an effective adsorbent for pho...

The present research investigates the ability of graphene oxide nanosheets for treatment of dairy wastewater, using In Situ Sludge Magnetic Impregnation” (ISSMI) to separate sludge after adsorption process. To increase the interaction between magnetic nanoparticles and graphene oxide, the former has been functionalized, using 3-Aminopropyl triethoxysilane, with the synthesized graphene oxide an...

This multi-scale and multi-technique work investigates the adsorption of phosphated species on TiO 2 anatase surface. Our original approach declines for first time progressive ethyl substitution phosphates to identify structure complexes formed upon these molecules in aqueous dispersions, under various pH conditions. To quantify adsorbed amount , isotherms were recorded as a function pH. In par...

Carbon slurry, dried in open air, has been used as an adsorbent material for the removal of nickel(II) from aqueous solutions at different experimental conditions in batch adsorption technique. The time required to attain equilibrium was found to be 50 minutes. The effects of initial concentration of Ni(II), particle size of adsorbent, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH on removal of nickel(II)...

The performance of two phenol-formaldehyde resin-based activated carbons prepared in our laboratory, as potential adsorbents for precombustion CO2 capture has been evaluated under static (adsorption isotherms) and dynamic (adsorption-desorption cycles conducted in a fixed bed) conditions. Most of the literature on CO2 capture with solid sorbents is based on equilibrium CO2 adsorption capacities...

The analysis of surface and pores of activated carbons oxidized to various degrees has been carried out on the basis of adsorption isotherms of nitrogen, water and several organic compounds. The reason for the large hysteresis of isotherms of water was ascribed to the structure formation of water in the micropores caused by the hydrophobic interaction at water-carbon inferface. INTRODUCTION The...
