This study explored the feasibility of using granular ferric hydroxide as adsorbent for the removal of NO3-N. Optimum conditions for NO3-N removal were found to be pH 5.0 and equilibrium time 80min. The equilibrium sorption isotherm was better described by Langmuir sorption isotherm model. The maximum sorption capacity of granular ferric hydroxide was 4.254mg/g at 298K. A comparison of four kin...

Magnetic zeolite/iron oxide nanocomposite was prepared by mixing zeolite synthesized from coal fly ashes with magnetite nanoparticles in suspension and was used for the removal of Reactive Orange 16 (RO16) and Indigo Carmine (IC) from aqueous solutions. The effect of various experimental parameters such as contact time, pH, adsorbent dose and temperature were investigated. The experimental data...

In this study, carbon was easily made from walnut wood as a low-cost and non-toxic natural adsorbent. Ziziphusspina-christi (ZSAC), an excellent adsorbent, were successfully synthesized by an in chemical vapor deposition method and used for the removal of Bismark Brown(BB) dye from aqueous solution. The as-synthesized Ziziphusspina-christi (ZSAC) were characterized by FT-IR technique. Various o...

the application of organic sorbents for removing heavy metal from water, replacing expensive sorbents, is particularly appropriate for developing countries. to investigate the efficiency of some organic sorbents in removing of cd2+ from aqueous solution, an experiment was conducted with three organic sorbents (sunflower stalks, apple and grapevine pruning residues) and 11 initial concentration ...

In this study, modeling of hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and carbon dioxide sorption on UTSA-16 framework extrudates in the pressure swing adsorption process was carried out. The pure gas adsorption of these gases at the pressure range (0 to 80) bars at (298, 313, and 338) K have also been measured in a fixed bed. Langmuir, Toth, Sips, UNILAN, Virial and Dubinin-Astakhov adsorpti...

Biosorption is a process, which represents a biotechnological innovation as well as a cost effective excellent tool for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The kinetics and equilibrium of the biosorption of Chromium (VI) from aqueous solution were investigated using immobilized mixed biosorbents of Annona squamosa seeds and Aspergillus niger in a batch system. The biosorption characte...

Sawdust is obtained from naturally and easily available which is biodegradable. The bio sorption capacity of the sawdust for hexavalent chromium was studied at different solution pH values (1.5-6), initial metal concentration (50450 mg/L), adsorbent dose (1-7 g/L). The maximum adsorption of Cr (VI) is obtained at pH 1.5, initial concentration 50 ppm and adsorbent dose 5 g/l. The adsorption of c...

Adsorption characteristics of potentially toxic metals in single- and multi-metal forms onto ferronickel slag were evaluated. Competitive sorption of metals by ferronickel slag has never been reported previously. The maximum adsorption capacities of toxic metals on ferronickel were in the order of Cd (10.2 mg g(-1)) > Cu (8.4 mg g(-1)) > Zn (4.4 mg g(-1)) in the single-metal adsorption isotherm...

A new polymeric resin poly(maleic acid –acrylamide )-Cesium P(MA-AM)-Cs was prepared by gamma radiation-induced co-polymerization of maleic acid ( MA) with acrylamide (AM) in the presence of cesium chloride CsCl as a metal salt in aqueous solution route at 25 KGy to be used as a sorbent. The polymeric resin was characterized using Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), simultaneous th...

In recent years, biosorption is being considered as an environmental friendly technology for the recovery of rare earth metals (REE). This study investigates the optimal conditions for the biosorption of neodymium (Nd) from an aqueous solution derived from hard drive disk magnets using green microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris). The parameters considered include solution pH, temperature and biosorbe...
