Background: The presence of heavy metals in the environment especially in water supplies have caused many concerns because of their toxicity and non-degradability. Hexavalent Chromium (Cr) is one of the most toxic metals which is used in many industries, so it is essential to remove it from industrial wastewater. In this study, we made a comparison between different adsorption isotherms in the ...

synthetic dyes are among the most common contaminants of the environment. therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of basic blue 41 (bb41) and methylene blue (mb) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. in this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with citric acid (ca) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for remo...

Introduction: There are different methods for removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions. Adsorption based methods are among the bests. One of the most important aspects for adsorption techniques is the availability of an accessible and economical adsorbent. This study aims to investigate cadmium removal from aqueous solutions by walnuts shell waste. Materials and Methods: Walnut Shell (WS) was...

background: phenol is an organic pollutant found in industrial effluents that is very toxic to humans and the environment. this study used pomegranate peel ash as a natural absorbent to remove phenol from aqueous solutions. methods: in this study, pomegranate peel ash in different doses was used as a new adsorbent for the removal of phenol. the effects of contact time, ph, adsorbent dose and in...

Tartrazine, a yellow menace, is widely being used in cosmetics, foodstuffs, medicines and textile. It is carcinogenic and also catalyzes allergic problems. In the present work the ability to remove Tartrazine from aqueous solutions has been studied using waste material-hen feathers, as adsorbent. Effects of pH, concentration of the dye, temperature and adsorbent dosage have been studied. Equili...

The adsorption of Cu(II) on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (oMWCNTs) as a function of contact time, pH, ionic strength, temperature, and hydroxylated fullerene (C60(OH)n) and carboxylated fullerene (C60(C(COOH)2)n) were studied under ambient conditions using batch techniques. The results showed that the adsorption of Cu(II) had rapidly reached equilibrium and the kinetic process was wel...

Magnetically modified activated carbon, which synthesized by nanomagnetic iron oxide, was used for fast and effective removal of Crystal Violet from aqueous solutions. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of nano-adsorbent showed that the average sizes of adsorbent are less than 100 nm. The various parameters, affecting on adsorption process, were examined including pH and temperature ...

Chestnut shell pigment (CSP) is melanin from an agricultural waste. It has potential as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment but cannot be used in its original state because of its solubility in water. We developed a new method to convert CSP to insolubilized chestnut shell pigment (ICSP) by heating, and the Cu(II) adsorption performance of ICSP was evaluated. The conversion was characterized,...

The present work aims to investigate the removal of dye Rhodamine-B (RB) and Congo red (CR) dye from aqueous solutions by low cost bio-waste adsorbents, such as Maranta arundinacea activated carbon (MAC) under various experimental conditions. The effect of dye concentrations, contact time, temperature and adsorbent dose on the removal of dyes was studied. The kinetic experimental data were fitt...

Cr(VI) is considered to be potentially carcinogenic to humans. Removal of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution under different conditions was investigated using activated alumina (AA) and activated charcoal (AC) as adsorbents. Batch mode experiments were conducted to study the effects of adsorbent dose, contact time, pH, temperature and initial concentration of Cr(VI). Results showed that the adso...
