The studies on removal of Lead (II) were conducted using Coconut shell. Adsorption efficiency has been evaluated. The effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, concentration of metal, particle size and temperature were studied. The result reveals that Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms are followed during adsorption process. Thermodynamics parameter indicates the feasibility of the process. Ki...

The adsorption of phosphorus (P) onto three industrial solid wastes (fly ash, red mud and ferric-alum water treatment residual (FAR)) and their modified materials was studied systematically via batch experiments. Compared with two natural adsorbents (zeolite and diatomite), three solid wastes possessed a higher adsorption capacity for P because of the higher Fe, Al and Ca contents. After modifi...

In this paper, the adsorption of cerium on modified Mesoporous aluminosilicate (with Si/Al mole ratio of 10) was studied. The effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration of cerium on adsorption of cerium were investigated. The adsorption capacity was high in the pH range of 4-8 and decreases with decreasing of the pH value. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were applied to represent ...

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 ...

We provide a general thermodynamic framework for the understanding of guest-induced structural transitions in hybrid organic-inorganic materials. The method is based on the analysis of experimental adsorption isotherms. It allows the determination of the free energy differences between host structures involved in guest-induced transitions, especially hard to obtain experimentally. We discuss th...

The equilibrium and kinetics of adsorption of NO and CO on nonstoichiometric nickel-copper manganites have been investigated through volumetric measurements. The adsorption isotherms were satisfactorily fitted to the Freundlich equation. The equilibrium coverages at 298 K were found to depend closely on the chemical composition of the oxide; thus, a decrease in the coverage beyond a maximum cop...

Aluminum-containing salts are important adjuvants in the formulations of many licensed human vaccines. However, in the early stage of the design of a new vaccine, a thorough understanding of the adsorption mechanisms of an antigen onto an aluminum salt is required. Therefore, we have developed a robust, rapid, and reproducible high-throughput screening (HTS) platform to study the adsorption cap...

Two SiO2 and three Al2O3 adsorbents with varying degrees of mesoporosity (pore diameter 2-50 nm) were reacted with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) at pH 6 to investigate the effects of intraparticle mesopores on adsorption/desorption. Anionic 2,4-D did not adsorb onto either SiO2 solid, presumably because of electrostatic repulsion, but it did adsorb onto positively charged Al2O3 adsorbe...

We have measured methane and carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms at 40 C on gas shale samples from the Barnett, Eagle Ford, Marcellus and Montney reservoirs. Carbon dioxide isotherms were included to assess its potential for preferential adsorption, with implications for its use as a fracturing fluid and/or storage in depleted shale reservoirs. To better understand how the individual mineral co...
