The modified surface of Typha latifolia L. root (MSTL), as an alternative economical adsorbent, wasused for the removal of Ni (II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The effect of initial pH, initialconcentration of metal ion, and contact time was investigated in a batch system at room temperature.The kinetics data could be fitted well by pseudo-second-order model with correlation coeffici...

Nanocomposite TiO2/ASS (TiO2 nanoparticle coated sewage sludge-based activated carbon) was synthesized by the sol-gel method. The changes in surface properties of the TiO2/ASS nanocomposite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence. The prepared TiO2/ASS nanocomposite was applied for simultaneous removal of methyl orange dye (MO) an...

A series of hydrogels as biosorbents to remove heavy metal ions (Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+) were prepared using Radix Isatidis residues material grafted with acrylic acid acrylamide. The surfaces residue/acrylic acid-co-acrylamide (RIR/AA-co-AM), residue/polyacrylamide (RIR/PAM3), residue/polyacrylic (RIR/PAA4) have a sponge-like, three-dimensional, highly microporous structure. all considerable swe...

The uncontrolled concentrations of heavy metals introduced into the water sources need an effective method for their removal. dithiocarbamate (dtc) ligands are most popular precipitating agents used removal from wastewater. Presently, two novel dtc ligands, one without methylene linker (K2L1) and other with (K2L2) were eight ions including Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Ag+, Zn2+ Pb2+ aqueous so...

CD2 (T11; sheep erythrocyte receptor) is the surface component of an alternative, antigen-independent pathway of human T cell activation. The response to certain anti-CD2 antibodies is relatively independent of accessory cell signals and therefore provides a direct measurement of T cell function. The CD2 pathway may be important in the differentiation of thymocytes, on which the expression of C...

Poly(HEMA) cryogel disks were synthesized by free radical polymerization of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA), and then Cibacron Blue F3GA (CB), Reactive Green 19 (RG) and Congo Red (CR) were immobilized as dye ligands. Disks were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and swelling degree, porosity calculations. Cd2+ adsorption experi...

The present study synthesizes a novel adsorbent by coating Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with amino functionalized mesoporous silica. The FTIR spectrums indicate that silica has been successfully coated on the surface of Fe3O4 and 3-aminopropyl tri methoxysilane compound have been grafted to the surface of silica-coated Fe3O4. The XRD analysis shows the presence of magnetite phase with cubic spi...

A novel nanoadsorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions is reported. Cotton was first hydrolyzed to obtain cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). CNCs were then chemically modified with succinic anhydride to obtain SCNCs. The sodic nanoadsorbent (NaSCNCs) was further prepared by treatment of SCNCs with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out with SCNCs and NaSCNCs for th...

introduction environmental pollution by heavy metals is one of the most commonly-encountered problems in many areas in which biological controls have not been implemented. as these metals are non-biodegradable, they remain in the nature for a long time, and through deep percolation into underground water they can cause degradation of ecosystems. the uptake of these elements by plants and their ...
