In this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene (CNB) from aqueous solutions onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was surveyed. The effect of some key parameters such as pH (2-10), carbon nanotubes dosage (0.02-0.1 mg/250mL), CNB concentration (2- 16 mg/L), and temperature (20,30,40,50°C) were investigated. The results showed that, the variation of initial pH and CNB concentration ex...

This reaserch aims at functionalizing magnetic mesoporous silica with methacrylic acid-3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (Fe3O4@MCM-41@MAA-APTES) applied for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution. Several variables (such as pH, dye concentration, adsorbent amount and contact time) have been investigated. Under optimum conditions, maximum capacity of 87.71 mg g-1 of MB was obtained for the ...

The interaction of hydrogen with palladium surfaces represents one of the model systems for the study of the adsorption and absorption at metal surfaces. Theoretical gas-surface dynamics studies have usually concentrated on the adsorption dynamics on clean surfaces. Only recently it has become possible, based on advances in the electronic structure codes and improvements in the computer power, ...

Ferula orientalis L. stalks were used as an agricultural solid biomass waste for preparation of activated carbon with zinc chloride activation using slow pyrolysis in a fixed-bed reactor. The chemical characteristics of the activated carbon obtained at 550 C were identified by elemental, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, scanning electron microscopy analyses and f...

the objective of this work focuses on the use of a new natural lignocellulosic material based on palm stems for adsorbing of hexavalent chromium (cr(vi)) in water. the palm stems powder (psp) was characterized using different techniques. the influencing factors on the adsorption of cr(vi) ions was investigated such as ph. the results show that the increase of the temperature and the initial ads...

   In the present study, CeO2/Fe2O3 nanocomposite was prepared by co-precipitation method and its application was investigated for arsenic removal from water. Characterization of the nano sized adsorbent particles was carried out using SEM and XRD techniques.

The removal of Malachite Green (MG) by Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) Shell Activated Carbon (CSAC) was investigated in present study. Adsorption studies were performed by batch experiments as a function of process parameters such as initial pH, contact time, initial concentration and adsorbent dose. A comparison of kinetic models applied to the adsorption of MG on CSAC was evaluated for the pseudo-fi...

The adsorption of contaminants plays an important role in the process of their elimination from a polluted environment. This work describes the issue of loading environment with lead Pb(II) and the resulting negative impact it has on plants and living organisms. It also focuses on bentonite as a natural adsorbent and on the adsorption process of Pb(II) ions on the mixture of bentonite and botto...

The occurrence of contaminants in wastewaters, and their behavior during wastewater treatment and production of drinking water are key issues to re-use water resources. The present research aims to remove caffeine from aqueous solutions via adsorption technique, using Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an adsorbent under different experimental conditions. The processing variables such as p...
