Discharge of untreated industrial wastewater containing heavy metals such as Pb2+ is hazardous to the environment due to their high toxicity. This study reports on the adsorption, desorption, and kinetic study on Pb2+ removal from aqueous solutions using wood/Nano-manganese oxide composite (WB-NMO). The optimum pH, contact time and temperature for adsorption were found...

Anion adsorption on the aluminum oxide, gibbsite, was investigated as a function of solution pH (3Y11) and equilibrium solution Mo (3.13, 31.3, or 313 Kmol/L), P (96.9 Kmol/L), or S (156 Kmol/L) concentration. Adsorption of all three anions decreased with increasing pH. Electrophoretic mobility measurements indicated a downward shift in point of zero charge, indicative of an inner-sphere adsorp...

removal of cesium from synthetic aqueous solution through adsorption on vermiculite, under batch equilibrium experimental condition at six initial values of ph (3, 4, 6, 9, 11 and 12) and five temperatures (25, 50, 75, 85 and 95 °c) has been investigated. it is necessary to propose a suitable model for a better understanding of the mechanism of cesium adsorption on vermiculite. for this propose...

The effects of the functional groups and structures of two different resins, weak base/macroporous and strong base/gel type, Purolite A170 and Dowex 21K on the adsorption properties of Re(VII) ions were investigated experimentally and described by the isotherm, kinetic, and thermodynamic modeling. In this regard, four widely used adsorption isotherm models including Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin...

A type of novel hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent was obtained by sulfonation and cross-linking reaction of polypropylene fiber grafted styrene-divinylbenzene. The aim of the fiber sulfonation and cross-linking method was to prepare rigid three dimensional networks in the entire fiber and change the ion exchange capacity of fiber. The hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent possesses a principall...

cofe2o4 magnetic nanoparticles were modified by dopamine (da) and ascorbic acid (aa) as anchors. separation of the da and aa using cofe2o4 magnetic nanoparticles have been studied by investigating the effects of ph, concentration of the da and aa, amount of adsorbents, contact time, ionic strength and temperature. the mechanism of adsorption was also studied. the adsorption of da and aa to the ...

The mechanism, isotherms and kinetics of removal of two endocrine disrupting chemicals, 17β-estradiol (E2) and 17αethinyloestradiol (EE2) by activated carbon adsorption were investigated in an agitated non-flow batch adsorption studies. Mathematical models were used to describe the adsorption phenomenon with the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters evaluated using the adsorption equilibrium dat...

The adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of ethanol-water systems on starch-based adsorbents prepared from cassava were undertaken. These include modified cassava starch (MS), cassava starch (CS), cassava pellet (CP), and Cassava shred (AB). The adsorption equilibrium data were best represented by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow second order kinetics...

In this study adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution by Fe3O4 nanoparticles was investigated. Desorption process and recovery of nanoparticles using different solutions were then carried out, and it was observed that NaOH (0.5M) can remove 90% of adsorbed chromium ions. Following the completion of adsorption/ desorption cycles, it was determined that nanoparticles have still had a high abil...
