The work focuses on the removing of Cu(II) from aqueous solution by Linde F(K) zeolite. The zeolite is synthesized from fly ash by hydrothermal process. The adsorption experiments discuss several factors including the optimal solution pH, zeolite dosage, adsorption temperature, adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm equation. The results show that, the optima...

The present work was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of nickel (II) removal from aqueous solution by adsorption onto a biopolymer adsorbent. The adsorbent was prepared using modification of mesoporous silicate SBA-15 with alginate biopolymer (alginateSBA-15) by encapsulation method. Morphological structure of the obtained nanocomposite adsorbent was characterized by XRD, scanning electro...

The present study reports, the synthesis of ZnO-bentonite nanocomposite by the incorporation of ZnO with bentonite clay. The nanocomposite was characterised by XRD and SEM. ZnO-bentonite was effectively used for removal of Methylene Blue (MB). Removal of MB takes place by photocatalytic degradation and adsorption. Photocatalytic degradation of MB occurs by advanced oxidation process. The factor...

In this study, mesoporous MCM-41 has been modified by incorporation of aluminum ion asa rapid, simple and inexpensive method for modification. The adsorbent is characterized usingpowder X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm data. The distributioncoefficient of cadmium ion on the mesoporous aluminosilicates has been enhanced with theincrease of the aluminum in the framewo...

An agricultural waste and eco-friendly biosorbent i.e. rice husk has been used as a cheap adsorbentfor the removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. The physical properties of the developedadsorbent were characterized using FTIR. The study was realized using batch experiments. The effectsof contact time, pH, initial dye concentration, biosorbent dose and temperature were investigate...

In this study, the oxidation of dye from colored wastewater by H2O2/ MWCNT’s multi walls carbon nano tubes solution assisted with UV radiation was investigated. Disperse Blue 56 DB 56 was used as a model dye. Adsorption behavior of DB56 from aqueous solution onto MWCNT’s was investigated under various conditions such as initial pH value, dye concentration, H2O2 and MWCNT’s dosage. Maximum adsor...

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...

Adsorption isotherms, adsorption kinetics thermodynamic process were obtained. Langmuir isoth...

Dyes are complex molecules that can sometimes cause damage to the aquatic environment and harm human health. They often not completely removed from effluent by usual treatments; therefore, efforts have been made increase their exhaustion dyeing through chemical physical processes. In this context, use of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as auxiliary agent promotes reduction harmful products, also increasi...

The reactivity and removal kinetics of arsenite treated with single and mixed mineral systems of kaolinite, montmorillonite and goethite injected with iron sulfide under sulfidicanoxic conditions has been investigated. Using empirical models derived from Freundlich isotherm model, injection of sulfidic-anoxic solution of iron sulfide onto the mixed mineral systems enhanced proton coefficient of...
