the removal ofxylenol orange from aqueous solution onto the coal ash was investigated at room temperature. the results show that the adsorption capacity of xylenol orange increased as the adsorption time increased and then equilibrium established after 30 min adsorption time. the results obtained revealed that the coal ash removed about 80 % of xylenol orange from the aqueous solution within 40...

The aim of the present work was to investigate the feasibility of Kattamanakku tree leaf powder carbon (KTC) for Acid Red-114 (AR-114) adsorption. The adsorption of AR-114 on KTC material was studied as a function of KTC dose (0.05-1.20g). , solution pH 3-10, contact time and initial concentration (70-380 mg/l)., The influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity was studied using the...

The adsorption characteristics of As(V) and As(III) on titanium dioxide loaded Amberlite XAD-7 resin have been studied. The resin was prepared by impregnation of Ti(OC2H5)4 followed by hydrolysis with ammonium hydroxide. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of the pH, shaking time and the concentration of As(V) and As(III) ions. The resin showed a strong adsorption for As...

The adsorption and desorption behavior of tributyltin (TBT) from aqueous solution to clay-rich sediments was studied under various conditions (pH, salinity) using the batch technique. Sediments containing illite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite in different proportions were used as sorbent materials. Several physicochemical parameters of the sediments (e.g., Brunauer-Emmett-Teller [BET] surface ...

an agricultural waste i.e. rice husk has been used as a cheap adsorbent for the removal ofleadas a harmful heavy metal from contaminated water via adsorption. the adsorption capacity of rice husk was calculated by equilibrium models. the results showed that the adsorption process has the best accordance with langmuir model. the kinetics of the adsorption was also investigated and obtained that ...

Protein adsorption and desorption behavior was investigated for a pH-responsive ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVAL) membrane with an interconnected porous structure. The transition of electrostatic behavior and conformation change of the poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (poly(DMAEMA)) chain contributed to the pH-responsive protein adsorption and desorption. Protein adsorption was condu...

Background: Synthetic dyes are serious pollutants and wide ranges of methods have been employed for their removal from aquatic systems. We studied the adsorption of "Nile blue A" (NBA), an anionic dye, from aqueous solution by oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Methods: Scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize ...

chromium (vi) adsorption behavior and capacity by surface modified nanozeolite a has been investigated. surface modification was performed and the morphology of modified and unmodified nanozeolite was studied using scanning electron microscope (sem) and transmission electron microscope (tem). adsorption isotherms were studied under different conditions (ph, adsorbent dose, adsorbate concentrati...

Methylene blue adsorption on Sargassum muticum, an invasive macroalga in Europe, has been investigated using visible absorption spectroscopy. Different pre-treatments, protonation and chemical cross-linking with CaCl2 or H2CO, have been tested in order to improve the stability as well as the adsorption capacity of the algal biomass. The equilibrium binding has been described in terms of Langmui...
