in this study, aniline-formaldehyde polymer was synthesized and then modified with extra aniline as cross-linker in the presence and absence of ni(ii) as the template to produce ion imprinted poly(aniline-formaldehyde) (iipaf) and non imprinted poly(aniline-formaldehyde)(nipaf) the iipaf was subjected to adsorption, preconcentration and determination of ni(ii) ion in environmental samples. the ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Since the chromium (VI) is a toxic, carcinogenic and non-biodegradable element and can accumulate in the tissues, the presence and release of this element through the effluents is associated with dangerous effects on life cycle. Thus, it should be removed from the effluents. In the present study, biosorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutio...

Adsorption capacity of Cr (VI) onto cousinia eryngioides boiss, activated carbon was investigated in a batch system by considering the effects of various parameters like contact time, initial concentration, pH, temperature, agitation speed, absorbent dose and particle size. Cr (VI) removal is pH dependent and found to be maximum at pH 2.0. The amounts of Cr (VI) adsorbed increased with increase...

This work aims to study the removal of Cu(II) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions with commercial coffee wastes. Materials with no further treatment such as coffee residues from café may act as adsorbents for the removal of Cu(II) and Cr(VI). Equilibrium data were successfully fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich and Langmuir-Freundlich model (L-F). The maximum adsorption capacity of the coffee res...

bioleaching of spent refinery processing catalysts using adapted indigenous strains ofacidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to recover ni and mo, and the separation of ni from bioleaching liquor usingiron magnetic nanoparticles were optimized in this study. bioleaching optimization was performed usingcentral composite design (ccd) method to optimize temperature (32 to 38oc), initial ph (1.5 to 2), par...

A sensitive and selective differential pulse stripping voltammetric (DPSV) method is presented for the determination of trace amount Cr(III) using glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The method includes AuNPs fabrication and self-assembly GCE modification. This processes replaced the –H groups with –NH2 groups on the surfaces of GCE which increased the number...

Nanoscale iron particles decorated graphene sheets synthesized via sodium borohydride reduction of graphene oxide, showed enhanced magnetic property, surface area and Cr(vi) adsorption capacity compared to bare iron nanoparticles.
