Raw bagasse, Bagasse fly ash and distillery sludge, the waste generated in sugar mills and distillery have been used as lowcost potential biosorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium from an aqueous solution. The effect of hydrogen ion concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial concentrations of adsorbate and adsorbent dose on the uptake of chromium were studied in batch experime...

The present study describes the development of a new bioadsorbent from lignocellulosic wastes of agricultural origin. The biosorption capacity of an agricultural solid waste, pine bark (Pinus densiflora Sieb.), to remove phenolic compounds (phenol, 2-chlorophenol (2-CPh), and 4chlorophenol (4-CPh)) from aqueous solutions under batch equilibrium conditions was investigated. The morphological cha...

This paper presents the feasibility of removal of basic dye malachite green from aqueous solutions by using a low cost AC-MnO2-NC. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of pH, contact time, initial concentration of the adsorbate, adsorbent dosage and temperature . Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin isotherms were also studied . Pseudo first order, Pseudo second order , intra...

Porphyrin-based aluminum metal-organic framework Al-MOF-TCPPH2 compound 1 is synthesized and activated to obtain 2. Its purity demonstrated by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, spectral assignments of specific functional groups within the TCPP linker are provided as potential binding sites for adsorbate. Compound 2 reversibly sorbs desorbs significant amount water (up 50 wt. %) from humidified air it form...

An explanation of the relative intensity fluctuations observed in single-molecule Raman experiments is described utilizing both single-molecule tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory calculations. No correlation is observed in mode to mode intensity fluctuations indicating that the changes in mode intensities are completely independent. Theoretical calculat...

The phenolic compounds are known by their carcinogenicity and high toxicity as well as creating unpleasant taste and odor in water resources. The present study develops a cost-effective technology for the treatment of water contaminated with phenolic compounds, including Phenol (Ph), 2-chlorophenol (2-CP), and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). So, two sorbents, rice bran ash (RBA) and biomass of brown alg...

An ultra-high vacuum experimental study of acetylene chemisorption on Pt(111) and Pt(100) and of the reaction of hydrogen with the acetylene adsorbate has established distinguishing features of carbon-hydrogen bond breaking and making processes as a function of pressure, temperature, and surface crystallography. The rates for both processes are substantially higher on the Pt(100) surface. Net a...

This study proposes ab initio neural network force fields with physically motivated features to offer superior accuracy in describing adsorbate–adsorbent interactions of nonpolar (CO 2 ) and polar (H O CO) molecules metal–organic frameworks open-metal sites.
