The present work was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of nickel (II) removal from aqueous solution by adsorption onto a biopolymer adsorbent. The adsorbent was prepared using modification of mesoporous silicate SBA-15 with alginate biopolymer (alginateSBA-15) by encapsulation method. Morphological structure of the obtained nanocomposite adsorbent was characterized by XRD, scanning electro...

Adsorption equilibria were analyzed on the basis of general equilibrium constant expression for the development of fundamental adsorption equations (Freundlich, Langmuir, and BET) in connection with the establishment of a general approach towards physical interpretations of adsorption parameters. Theoretically it was proved that Freundlich plot analysis cannot be used to find useful parameters ...

Activated carbon derived from biomass waste, namely palm shell, was evaluated as a potential adsorbent for the removal of Reactive Black 5 dye (RB5) from an aqueous solution. This work focused on the equilibrium isotherms and the kinetics of the adsorption process. Batch adsorption tests were conducted to determine the effects of various parameters, such as contact time, RB5 concentration, adso...

the adsorption study was conducted on three japanese soils with different soil properties to characterize the adsorption pattern of arsenic (as). double tube method was used to find out the effect of soil moisture levels on as adsorption. for this study, besides double tube method, conventional batch method also was used. the as adsorption showed two phase kinetics. an initial and rapid adsorpt...

This research presents adsorption potential of surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulphate; SDS) coated magnetite nanoparticles as suitable and efficient adsorbent for the removal of Basic Blue 41 (BB 41), as a cationic dye from textile’s company wastewater. The effects of various experimental parameters (e.g. initial pH of the solution, SDS amount, and ionic strength) on the adsorption efficiency of B...

According to the increasing development of the mankind, social and technology activities in the earth, various industry is in a state of uncontrolled growth. In the present study, magnetite/nickel oxide mixed metal oxide nanoparticles (FNMMO NPs) were prepared by a simple method assisted by ultrasonic waves and applied as a novel adsorbent to dispose of dye wastewater. The morphology and chemic...

Magnetic polymer particles which were modified by vinyl groups and subjected topolymerization by vinyl β-Cyclodextrin derivative, has been used as adsorbent for sorption andrelease of bovine serum albumin and the equilibrium and kinetics of the adsorption process werestudied. The absorbability and releasing of this protein through the new polymer has beenmeasured by ultraviolet-visible spectros...

In this study, ZIF-67 was synthesized through solvothermal method to remove Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution. To improve the structural properties of ZIF-67 and its adsorption capacity, optimization of the synthesis conditions was carried out based on maximum Cr(VI) uptake. From experiments, the optimum condition was revealed as solvent: metal ion molar ratio of 4.6:1, ligand: metal ion molar ...

This study investigates the capacity of granular activated carbon (GAC) for the storage of methane through the equilibrium adsorption. An experimental apparatus consist of a dual adsorption vessel was set up for the measurement of equilibrium adsorption of methane on GAC using volumetric technique (pressure decay). Experimental isotherms of methane adsorption were determined by the measurement ...
