Composite chitosan-magnetite microparticles (Fe-Cc) were evaluated as a new adsorbent for cobalt and nickel ion separation from aqueous solutions. Sorption batch experiments were conducted for optimizing the pH, initial target ion concentration and adsorbent amount. The experimental data were fitted using Langmuir, Freundlich, and respectively DubininRadushkevich isotherm models. The Langmuir m...

the problem of removing pollutants from water is an important process and is becoming moreimportant with the increasing of industrial activities. one of the most important environmental problems iswater resources pollution by heavy metals. bioabsorbtion is affordable adsorbents for the removal of heavymetals from aqueous solutions. this study explores the adsorption potential of cr (vi), cd (ii...

graphene, a new member of the carbon family, was used as an adsorbent due to its exceptional capability to remove rhodamine b (rb) and malachite green (mg), two organic dyes, from aqueous solutions. adsorption kinetics of rb and mg onto graphene and adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were studied. also the effects of parameters, including ph, contact time, temperature, and adsorbent dosage we...

The removing of hexavalent chromium from wastewater or decreasing its chromium (VI) content up to the permitted levels is important due to its non-biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and cancer-causing and toxic effects. In the present study, biosorption of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions using canola was investigated. The various physicochemical parameters such as pH, initial Cr (VI) ion concentra...

Activated carbon was prepared from agricultural waste “almond (Prunus amygdalus) nut shells” by chemical activation with phosphoric acid as an activating agent at 450 C for 24 hr soaking time. The physical and chemical properties were analyzed. The adsorption of chromium VI from aqueous solution on almond nut shell activated carbon (ASAC) was investigated. The adsorption process parameters pH, ...

background and purpose: recently, release of pollutants such as heavy metal ions to the environment becomes one of the most important problems for soil and water. the present study was conducted to introduce modified rice husk (rh) as a new low-cost adsorbent. materials and methods: in this study, tartaric acid modified rh (tarh), was used as an adsorbent for removal of ni(ii) and cd(ii) from w...

absorptive characteristics of polyaniline synthesized with two different oxidants including potassium iodate and ammonium persulfate was studied. synthesized polyanilines in powder shape is used as an adsorbent to remove toxic hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions. experiments were conducted in batch mode with different variables such as agitation time, solution ph and initial concentratio...

abstract: â in this study adiffusion based mathematical model was developed to compare the performance of amine-grafted adsorbents with that of 13x zeolite in a fixed-bed adsorption tower which is used to capture co2 from both humid and dry nitrogen stream under industrial conditions. the results show that the performance of amine-grafted adsorbent and 13x zeolite is almost the same in the dry ...

Magnetic polyvinyl alcohol adsorbent M-PVAL was employed to remove and concentrate dimethyl phthalate DMP. The M-PVAL was prepared after sequential syntheses of magnetic Fe3O4 (M) and polyvinyl acetate (M-PVAC). The saturated magnetizations of M, M-PVAC, and M-PVAL are 57.2, 26.0, and 43.2 emu g(-1) with superparamagnetism, respectively. The average size of M-PVAL by number is 0.75 μm in micro ...
