The adsorption studies of phenol from aqueous solution on allium sativum peel have been studied in the range of 50-250 mg/L initial phenol concentration .The study was carried out as function of contact time, pH, initial phenol concentration,allium sativum Linn peel dosage and temperature. The experiment demonstrated the maximum phenol was obtained at in pH of 2 and it takes 6h to attain equili...

Synthetic dyes are extensively used in many industrial applications like textile, leather and cosmetics. The release of various harmful dyes from these industries into the environment has attracted great attention worldwide in recent years. Biosorption is a very effective dye removal technique from aqueous system. In this research, the biosorption performance of cone of red pine for C.I. Basic ...

Introduction: Using bio-sorbents is regarded as one of the effective methods to remove heavy metals. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate Pb adsorption from contaminated water by Chaetoceros sp. and Chlorella sp. algae. Methods: This experimental study was conducted in a batch reactor. The amount of Pb adsorption by Chaetoceros sp. and Chlorella sp. algae was studied under such conditio...

In this research work, activated carbon prepared locally from Thespesia Populnea bark(TPC) was examined for the removal of cobalt (II) from aqueous solution. The main parameters, like effect of adsorbent dosage, Co (II) concentrations, effect of contact time and effect of pH was studied in batch experiments. The experimental results were analyzed by using Langmuir, Freundlich, adsorption isothe...

The adsorption of methyl tert-butyl ether by granular activated carbon was investigated. The experimental data were analyzed using the Freundlich isotherm and the Langmuir isotherm. Although equilibrium data were found to follow Freundlich isotherm model, it were fitted better by the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 204.1 mg/g. The kinetic data obtained at different concentr...

In this study, durian (Durio zibethinus Murray) skin was examined for its ability to remove methylene blue (MB) dye from simulated textile wastewater. Adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of MB removal from aqueous solutions at different parametric conditions such as different initial concentrations (2-10 mg/L), biosorbent dosages (0.3-0.7 g) and pH solution (4-9) onto durian skin were studied u...

Application of agriculture residue especially in biochar form seems to be effective in the removal of contaminants such as nitrate pollution. The effectiveness of biochar produced from palm leaf residues (pyrolyzed at 600 ˚C) in the removal of nitrate from aqueous solution was studied at different pH. The pH value at the point of zero charges (pHpzc) and surface functional groups...

The present study investigates the biosorption of cadmium ions from aqueous solution onto unmodified, ultrasound and microwave treated cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. FTIR analysis was conducted to characterize the biosorbent. Equilibrium and kinetic studies of unmodified RBW (residual brewery waste) cell yeast and DSM 1333 (pure strain) were conducted by considering the effect of initial ca...

In this research, at first ordinary Aloe Vera micropowder (OAMP) and its impregnated form (IAMP) as the natural sorbents were prepared and then characterized by several techniques such as Fourier transform spectrophotometry (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Elemental analysis (EA), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BET/BJH) essay and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). T...
