Total amount of uranium resource in seawater is one thousand times of that in terrestrial ores. A polymeric adsorbent being capable of collecting uranium in seawater was developed in early 1980s, since uranium is inevitable resource to operate atomic power plants. This adsorbent fabric was synthesized by radiation-induced graft polymerization which could impart a desired functional group into f...

The ability of a particular banana fibre in removing reactive dyes from textile wastewater was studied in the present work. Locally available ground seeded banana fibre of ≤ 212 μ was used as adsorbent. Initially the adsorbent was tested on standard Novacron Blue FN-R reactive dye solutions and then it was also applied to raw textile wastewater. The adsorbent was found very effective to remove ...

The pollution of natural waters with aromatic amines originating from wastewaters of many industries is of serious concern due to its negative impact on environment and living organisms. In this research work, Cu–impregnated chitosan/alumina nanocomposite was prepared and employed as an adsorbent for removal of aromatic amines from water. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of the p...

One of the most efficient ways replacing existing traditional technique is application low-cost adsorbent. Rice husk (RH) an abundant and inexpensive material can be processed for various applications into activated carbon (AC). In past couple years, AC has also been used as addition, wider used, such removing water wastewater from different contaminants. this analysis, raw rice copper syntheti...

This work has been carried out to check the ability of three biowastes, viz. corn cob ash (CCA), mango stone ash (MSA) and orange peel powder (OPP), to remove Ni(II) ions from aqueous solution. The surface environment of the adsorbents was characterized by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis which showed that these adsorbents contain favo...

In the present work removal of phenol from aqueous solution using peat soil as adsorbent dose was studied. The initial phenol concentration was varied from 5 mg/L to 20 mg/L with varying amount of peat soil (5-20 gm) in laboratory batch adsorption experiment. The maximum adsorption efficiency was found at initial phenol concentration of 10 mg/L, adsorption dose of 200 g/L and pH of the solution...
