Adsorption of ammonia from anaerobic digester effluent by magnetically modified zeolite (MMZ) has been investigated using a batch technique and comparison of adsorption isotherm equations. Adsorption isotherm models were utilized to describe the equilibrium isotherms and the isotherm constants were calculated. The sorption of ammonia follows Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) m...

adsorption of anilofos was studied in four soils (topsoil from alfisol, inceptisol, oxisol and vertisol). the order of adsorption of anilofos was vertisol > oxisol > alfisol > inceptisol. the soil sorption coefficient k and the soil organic carbon sorption coefficient koc are the basic parameters used for describing the environmental fate of the herbicides. in top soil the calculated k values w...

We consider the mean field kinetic equations describing the relaxation dynamics of a lattice model of a fluid confined in a porous material. The dynamical theory embodied in these equations can be viewed as a mean field approximation to a Kawasaki dynamics Monte Carlo simulation of the system, as a theory of diffusion, or as a dynamical density functional theory. The solutions of the kinetic eq...

The adsorption of bixin in aprotic solvents onto acid- and alkali-treated kaolinite was investigated. Kaolinite was treated three times, for 6 h each, with 8 M HCl or 5 M KOH. The adsorbents were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, EDS, and BET-N2. The effects of contact time and dye concentration on adsorption capacity and kinetics, electronic transition of bixin before and after adsorption, and also...

Fly ash superficially modified with humic substances from the Megalopolis lignitic power plant was prepared and evaluated for agricultural uses. UV-vis spectrophotometry and IR spectroscopy revealed that fly ash shows high sorption efficiency towards humic substances. Adsorption proceeds stepwise via strong Coulombic and hydrophophic forces of attraction between guest and host materials. Langmu...

In this study, the adsorption behavior of anionic dyes from aqueous solution onto mesoporous carbon material (CMK-1) and modified with polymer (PANI/CMK-1) has been investigated as a function of parameters such as adsorbent dose (0.08-0.8 g/L), solution pH 3–10, contact time and initial concentration (10-100 mg/L). The influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity has been studied us...

Amine-modified mesoporous SBA-15 adsorbent has been prepared by impregnation method using tetraethylenepentamine. The samples of this modified SBA-15 have been characterized by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm and FT-IR. The adsorption capacity of CO2 on unmodified and modified samples were measured at high pressure...

an efficient synthetic method for successful synthesis of amine denderon on sba-15 and related pd (ii) complex has been developed. this modified mesoporous material was characterized by various techniques such as tem, xrd, atomic absorption spectroscopy, n2 adsorption-desorption, and ft-ir. the catalytic activities of the prepared catalysts were investigated by employing aerobic oxidation of al...

The aim of the present work is to prepare an adsorption package to simulate adsorption / desorption operation for both single and multi-component systems in an isothermal condition by different mechanisms such as; local adsorption theory and mass transfer resistance (rigorous and approximated methods). Different mass transfer resistance mechanisms of pore, solid and bidispersed diffusion, t...

Highly toxic nickel is released into the environment from a number of industrial processes, but current techniques for its removal are expensive and may cause secondary pollution. We developed a biosorbent of chitosan-immobilized brown algae (Laminaria japonica). The effects of different parameters on the adsorption capacity and biosorption-desorption of Ni from aqueous solution were evaluated....
