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...

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...

the adsorption study was conducted on three japanese soils with different soil properties to characterize the adsorption pattern of arsenic (as). double tube method was used to find out the effect of soil moisture levels on as adsorption. for this study, besides double tube method, conventional batch method also was used. the as adsorption showed two phase kinetics. an initial and rapid adsorpt...

the effect of temperature on the adsorption of heavy metals on not only natural bulk clay, but also for the individual phases that composed the bulk clay sample, was investigated. combined adsorption- sequential extraction analysis (casa) for pb, cu, zn and cd were conducted under various temperatures that ranged from 150c to 550c. as a result, it was found that heavy metals adsorption for bulk...

abstract phosphate is an essential element for plants, animals, and human. mobility and availability of phosphate in the natural systems is controlled by the adsorption-desorption and dissolution-precipitation reactions. iron (hydr)oxides including goethite play an important role in phosphate adsorption reactions in soil. surface area, crystallinity, and morphology of iron (hydr)oxides are the ...

the aim of this research is studying the effects of ge-doped on co adsorption on the outer and inner surfaces of (6, 0) zigzag model of boron nitride nanotube (bnnts) by using dft theory. for this purpose, eight models of co adsorption on the surfaces of bnnts are considered. at first step, all structures were optimized at b3lyp and 6-31g (d) standard base set and then the electronic structure,...

the aim of this study was to investigate the removal of toluene from air through nano-graphene modified by ionic liquid (ng-il). the batch adsorption experiments in glass bottle of gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector (gc-fid) were used. graphene ultrahigh-quality synthesized by substrate-free gas-phase method in a single step and graphene sheets were deposited with ionic-...

the main factor affecting the economics of foam-assisted water alternative gas (fawag) process isthe loss of foaming agent by adsorption onto reservoir rocks. in this study, the effects of phases,surfactant concentration, salinity, adsorbents, and sacrificial agent on adsorption density wereinvestigated by special adsorption experiments. moreover, a series of fawag tests were performedto examin...

in this study, nano-tio2 was employed for the adsorption of chloroform from aqueous solution in batch equilibrium experiments to investigate its adsorption properties. the effects of ph, initial chloroform concentration and nano-tio2 dosage were also investigated. optimal conditions for chloroform removal by nano-tio2 have been then identified. results of equilibrium experiments showed that the...
