Polyacrylonitrile-co-sodium methallylsulfonate copolymer (AN69) and polysulfone (PSf) synthetic membranes were prepared and used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from water. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Ionic exchange capacity (IEC), and Swelling ratio (Sr) were employed to determine the membrane characteristics. pH, membrane composition and initial dye concentration were used for t...

An ultrafine grain surface layer with average crystallite size of 28 nm was produced on annealed mild steel through a wire brushing process. The effects of grain size reduction on the inhibition performance of sodium phosphate were investigated using polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The crystal grain size of wire brushed surface was analyzed by X-ray d...

The study presented in this article investigated the removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions by a synthetic hydrogel-forming adsorbent polymer based on sodium alginate (SA) and hydroxy apatite (HA) nanoparticles. The effect of adding Zeolite on the adsorption performance of this hydrogel was also investigated, and the optimum amount of Zeolite was determined by changing its quantity. The ...

Abstract The objective of this research was to look into the binary exchange in four calcareous soils. ion adsorption carried by Batch equilibrium method used saturate soil samples with sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium ions, separately, get Sodium–Soil, Potassium–Soil, Calcium–Soil Magnesium–Soil. mean Kd (L kg –1 ) scores various systems were arranged as follows: Calcium – Magnesium (1...

Surfactant-modified minerals have been widely used for the sorption of anionic and non-polar organic contaminants. This paper investigates the regeneration of various hexadecyltrimethylammoniun bromide (HDTMA)-modified natural minerals saturated with chromate anions using different solutions for the extraction of chromate that has been sorbed at optimum conditions. The examined minerals include...
