abstract siderophores are of important factors influencing bioavailability and fate of heavy metals in the arid and semi-arid soils. they are low molecular weight organic ligands excreted by aerobic soil microorganisms and some plants roots to acquire fe. siderophores may also complex other metals such as pb .the main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dfob-siderophore on...

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...

in this research, adsorption of dibenzothiophene (dbt) as a model of sulfur containing material has been studied by pb exchanged y-zeolite under different experimental conditions. the adsorption was kinetically fast and high adsorption capacity was obtained. the equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using langmuir and freunlich isotherm models. the corresponding parameters and correlation c...

heavy metals such as cu(ii) and pb(ii) are among the hazardous pollutants that lead to severe ecological problems and have a toxic effect on living organisms. the removal of cu(ii) and pb(ii) by iranian bentonite experiment were conducted in single component and multi component systems. the bentonite from the birjand area was characterized by x-ray diffraction pattern and ftir spectroscopy. the...

a novel composite adsorbent, silica aerogel activated carbon was synthesized by sol-gel process atambient pressure drying method. the composite was characterized by fourier transform infraredspectroscopy (ft-ir), scanning electron microscopy (sem), differential scanning calorimetry(dsc) and nitrogen adsorption / desorption isotherms (bet).in the present study, the mentioned adsorbent was used m...

industrial wastewater included the dyes one of the important sources of environmental pollution that founded in loom wastewater which are harmful for human health and environment. therefore, the purpose of this research was investigated removal of rb5 dye from aqueous solution by using of adsorption onto activated red mud as an cheap adsorbent. this research was experimental- laboratorial study...

The equilibrium and thermodynamics of azo dye (tartrazine and allura red) biosorption onto Spirulina platensis biomass were investigated. The equilibrium curves were obtained at 298, 308, 318 and 328 K, and four isotherm models were fitted the experimental data. Biosorption thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) were estimated. The results showed that the biosorption was favored by a temperat...

increasing of fresh water consumption and consecutively drought periods caused reduction of renewable freshwater resources in recent years. one of the basic strategies to conquer this problem is using non-conventional water resources particularly reuse of polluted water. in this study, activated carbon derived from walnut shell was used as tertiary treatment. activated carbon powder was used in...

we utilize isotherm models in contributing to scholarly knowledge in simple terms, to measure the forces or energy defining certain adsorption phenomenon. gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrophotometer detector (gcms) was utilized to measure equilibrium phase atrazine after adsorption onto shea nut shells (ss) acid derived activated carbon. data were fitted into the d-r and temkin isoth...

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) used as a brightening and stabilization agent at the concentration of 30 mg dm(-3) is a major organic additive in the copper electroplating solution. Activated carbon, Calgon Filtrasob 400, is used as the adsorbent to remove the PEG from the used electroplating solution in order to broaden the appeal of recycling it. The equilibrium of adsorption is attained within 14 ...
