Abstract—Preparation of nanoparticles of cerium oxide and adsorption of bovine serum albumin on them were studied. Particle size distribution and influence of pH on zeta potential of prepared CeO2 were determined. Average size of prepared cerium oxide nanoparticles was 9 nm. The simultaneous measurements of the bovine serum albumin adsorption and zeta potential determination of the (adsorption)...

presence of heavy metals in the aquatic systems has become a serious problem. as a result, therehas been a great deal of attention given to new technologies for removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated waters. adsorption is one of the effective methods for removal of toxic heavy metal such as chromium (vi). in the present study, adsorbent is prepared from rice husk, a low cost by product f...

Quercus coccifera shell (QCS), a relatively abundant and inexpensive material, is currently being investigated as an adsorbent to remove cobalt(II) from water. Before the adsorption experiments, QCS was subjected to chemical treatment to provide maximum surface area. Then, the kinetics and adsorption mechanism of Co(II) ions on QCS were studied using different parameters such as adsorbent dosag...

zinc­ (zn) is an essential micro­nutrient needed by plants, animals and humans. bioavailability of zn to plant root is controlled through sorption process in soils. to evaluate the effect of citric acid on zn sorption,­ a batch experiment was conducted with two soil samples (s1, s2), that differed in their clay and calcium carbonate contents. three levels of citric acid (0,­ 0.5, 1 mm) and twel...

the adsorption study was conducted on three japanese soils with different soil properties to characterize the adsorption pattern of arsenic (as). double tube method was used to find out the effect of soil moisture levels on as adsorption. for this study, besides double tube method, conventional batch method also was used. the as adsorption showed two phase kinetics. an initial and rapid adsorpt...

The adsorption of CO2 on amine modified periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) has been investigated. An ethenylene-bridged PMO is modified with a wide range of diamines and polyamines. A variety of dangling N-containing functionalities, i.e., diaminobutane, diaminohexane, diaminododecane, diethylenetriamine and tetraethylenepentamine, as nucleophiles in a substitution reaction is used. The C...

A new modified magnetic Graphene Oxide with Chitosan and Cysteine wassynthesized for removing Pb2+ ions from aqueous solution. The properties of thisadsorbent were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM),Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and Energy Dispersive Analysis Systemof X-ray (EDAX). Physicochemical parameters such as effect of pH, c...

background; dyes can cause many problems in environment. therefore, removal of these contaminants before discharging wastewater to environment can reduce the environmental hazards. adsorption is one of the usual processes for decolorizing from wastewater. nanotubes are new adsorbents that can adsorb different compounds. this work aimed to investigate acid violet 17 dye removal by adsorption usi...
