Adsorption behavior of unburned carbons from fly ash has been investigated in this study. Batch tests and column test were carried out for several unburned carbon samples from various ash sources and processing schemes. Adsorption isotherms have been obtained from these tests. Results show that the unburned carbons have equal or better adsorption capacity for elemental mercury comparing with so...

in this study, a novel solid dendrimer amine (hyperbranched polymers) was prepared using mesoporous carbon nitride functionalized by melamine based dendrimer amines. this adsorbent was denoted mda-mcn-1. the process was stepwise synthesis and hard-templating method using mesoporous silica sba-15 as a template. cyanuric chloride and n,n-diisopropylethylamine (dipea, merck) were used for function...

   Surfaces of synthesis cobalt disulfide has high electron density that could interact with polycyclic aromatic compounds by π-π stacking. Cobalt disulfide was synthesized with the hydrothermal method and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray. Using tetracycline as a model analyte, the batch adsorption experiments were c...

Polyacrylic acid/ octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, nanocomposite hydrogel with 3-D network was synthesized via radical polymerization. Octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane was used as crosslinker and nanofiller simultaneously in the preparation of the hydrogel. Hydrogel adsorption performance was determined by adsorption of methylene blue. The adsorption capacity was ev...

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...

Insoluble Dendronized Chitosan (DCTS) was prepared to improve the adsorption capacity of chitosan (CTS) as well as to lower its solubility at lower pH for efficient removal of acid dye, Acid Blue 9 (AB 9) from aqueous solutions. Dendronized chitosan was prepared by grafting ‘dendrimer-like’ Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) onto CTS surface using Michael addition reaction followed by amidation reaction. T...

The present study seeks to investigate the capacity of polyaniline/titanium dioxide (PAn/TiO2) and Polypyrrole/titanium dioxide (PPy/TiO2) nano-adsorbents to adsorb Congo red anionic dye (CR) from aqueous solution. The variables effective in CR adsorption, including adsorbent dose, pH of the solution, contact time, initial dye concentration, and temperature were examined. The study yielded the ...

In this paper, the adsorption of cerium on modified Mesoporous aluminosilicate (with Si/Al mole ratio of 10) was studied. The effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration of cerium on adsorption of cerium were investigated. The adsorption capacity was high in the pH range of 4-8 and decreases with decreasing of the pH value. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were applied to represent ...

A Zr-based MOF, NU-1000, comprised of Zr6 nodes and tetratopic pyrene-containing linkers is studied for adsorption and extraction of SO4(2-) from water. The adsorption capacity and uptake time of SO4(2-) in NU-1000 is determined at varying concentrations to give an overall maximum adsorption capacity of 56 mg SO4(2-) per g of MOF. Selective adsorption of SO4(2-) by NU-1000 in the presence of ot...
