In this paper, the adsorption of Basic Blue159 (BB159) onto banana peel as a low-cost material was studied. At first, the banana peel was sieved. Later, banana peel particles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a fu...

in the present investigation, dead bacterium biomass streptomyces rimosus was used as an inexpensive and efficient biosorbent for cr (iii) removal from aqueous solution. the bacterial biomass was treated with 0.1 m naoh. sorption level of 65 mg/g was observed at ph 4.8 while precipitation effect augmented this value at higher ph range. chromium desorption increased with decreasing desorption ag...

ultrasonic-assisted method was applied for preparation of cu+2-doped zns nanoparticles (mole fractions of cu+2 ions are 0.000, 0.015, 0.030 and 0.060) in water as a template-free and green method at 30 min. the prepared nanoparticles were investigated by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive x-ray (edx) and uv–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (drs)...

in this study, removal of acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate mcm-41 modified by aminopropyltriethoxysilane (aptes) composite was studied. properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by sem, edx and ftir. results show that langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order m...

Isotherms for the adsorption of KCl in PVOH-borate hydrogel was studied at 303 K by determining the amount of potassium and chloride ions adsorbed in PVOH-borate hydrogel using ion exchange chromatography and potentiometric titrations respectively. Experimental data was tested for Frendulich’s, Langmuir’s, Temkin’s and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms equations. The adsorption data follows isothe...

this study was aimed at investigating the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (cip) antibiotic in aqueous solution using immobilized zno nanoparticles on glass plate. x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were applied to characterize the nanoparticles. to do so, the zno nanoparticles were synthesized through the chemical precipitation method and we...

Kinetics of phosphate adsorption by Ca/Cr layered double hydroxide (LDH) in a batch reactor was investigated this study. The kinetic experiments indicated that the sorption from synthetic feed solution synthesised LDH very fast, with over 98% removal being achieved within 5 min contact. Kinetic modeling process to different models (pseudo first order, pseudo second Elovich and intraparticle dif...

In this study, removal of Acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate MCM-41 modified by Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) composite was studied. Properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by SEM, EDX and FTIR. Results show that Langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. Kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order m...

Abstract Edible oil-based feedstocks based biodiesel is still leading the industry around world. Canola oil ( Brassica napus L.) contributes significantly to that race. Process optimisation and development of reaction kinetic models edible are required since knowledge kinetics needed for designing industrial facilities evaluating performance catalysts during transesterification or other related...
