toluidine blue o (tbo) is a cationic dye which is extensively used in the industries. in the present paper a simple and efficient wet chemical method was introduced for removal of tbo from waste aqueous solution. magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized using commercially available multi-wall carbon nanotubes and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles which were examined for removal o...

The methylene blue (MB) removal abilities of raw activated carbon and iron/cerium modified raw activated carbon (Fe-Ce-AC) by adsorption were researched and compared. The characteristics of Fe-Ce-AC were examined by N2 adsorption, zeta potential measurement, FTIR, Raman, XRD, XPS, SEM and EDS. After modification, the following phenomena occurred: The BET surface area, average pore diameter and ...

Introduction: There are different methods for removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions. Adsorption based methods are among the bests. One of the most important aspects for adsorption techniques is the availability of an accessible and economical adsorbent. This study aims to investigate cadmium removal from aqueous solutions by walnuts shell waste. Materials and Methods: Walnut Shell (WS) was...

The presence of arsenic in water supplies is a major problem for public health and still concerns large parts of population in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Europe. Removal of arsenic is usually accomplished either by coagulation with iron salts or by adsorption with iron oxides or activated alumina. However, these materials, although very efficient for arsenic, normally do not remove other...

the objective of this study was to assess the adsorption potential of activated carbon (ac) asan adsorbent for the removal of murexide (mu) from aqueous solutions. the influence of variablesparameters including ph, amount of adsorbent, sieve size of adsorbent, temperature and contact timeon mu removal was studied. following optimization of variables, the relation between concentrations ofdye re...

in this study two identical anaerobic completely mixed fluidized bed reactors with gac and sand media were employed for cod & phenol removal. at loading rate of 1.6 g phenol l-1d-1, the efficiency of phenol removal in gac & sand reactors were 97.7% & 74%, respectively. at high loading rate of phenol (6.09 g phenol i: 1d1) the efficiency of phenol removal in gac reactor was better than 95%. in g...

conclusions results indicated that annular fluidized bed reactor’s adsorbers are useful techniques for vocs adsorption. comparison of two particle ranges indicates that in all concentrations and all flow rates of the experiments, smaller particle size adsorption are better. in superficial velocity above the minimum fluidization velocity, pressure drop of fluidized beds are less than the pressur...
