In the present work, adsorption behavior of Eriochrome Black T (EBT) on waste hemp activated carbon (WHAC) was examined. The surface WHAC modified by H3PO4 acid treatment. and structural characterization adsorbents carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. effect influential parameters (pH, contact time, dosage, initial concen...

In this study, we prepared 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) functionalized sodium alginate (SA) porous membrane adsorbent (APTEOS/SA) and tested its adsorption performance for removing of Cr(III) ions. The physico-chemical properties of the pristine and Cr(III) ions loaded APTEOS/SA were investigated by FT-IR, SEM-EDX, TG, AFM, and contact angle goniometer methods. To investigate the adso...

The effective removal of dyes from aqueous wastewaters is among the most important issues formany industrialized countries. Removal of Congo Red (CR) dye from aqueous solutions was studiedusing nickel oxide nanoparticles. The operating variables studied were initial pH of solution,adsorbents dosage, temperature and contact time. The morphological information of nickel oxidenanoparticles were ch...

In this study, the adsorption of mercury ions by Sargassum bevanom (S. bevanom) by batch method was investigated. The optimum operating parameters such adsorbent dosage, contact time, and pH, were obtained as: a biomass dose of 0.4 g in 100 ml of mercury solution, contact time of 90 mins and pH 7, respectively. Three equations Morris –Weber, Lagergren and pseudo second order are tested to verif...

a type of novel hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent was obtained by sulfonation and cross-linking reaction of polypropylene fiber grafted styrene-divinylbenzene. the aim of the fiber sulfonation and cross-linking method was to prepare rigid three dimensional networks in the entire fiber and change the ion exchange capacity of fiber. the hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent possesses a principally di...

In the present research work, the kinetics of sunflower oil transesterification reaction in the presence of Ba-Sr/ZSM-5 nanocatalyst which prepared using incipient wetness impregnation method was investigated. The 10wt.%Ba-Sr/ZSM-5 (Sr/Ba=3/2) nanocatalyst was calcined at 600 °C for 6 h with a heating rate of 3 ºC/min. The experimental conditions were the methanol/oil 9/1molar ratio, reaction t...

The potential of spherical lignin beads as an adsorbent to take up Llysine from aqueous solution was investigated. The kinetic data were estimated by the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The mechanism of adsorption was also studied using the Boyd model and Webber’s intraparticle diffusion model. The equilibrium data were modeled by the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushk...

The current study both synthesizes and uses four compounds of graphene oxide (GO), nitrogen doped graphene oxide (ND-GO), high nitrogen doped graphene oxide (HND-GO), and three dimensional high nitrogen doped graphene oxide (3D-HND-GO) in order to remove a model anionic dye, Congo red (CR) from wastewaters. It also compares their carbon nano-structure, with regard to removal efficiency and find...
