The removal ofxylenol orange from aqueous solution onto the coal ash was investigated at room temperature. The results show that the adsorption capacity of xylenol orange increased as the adsorption time increased and then equilibrium established after 30 min adsorption time. The results obtained revealed that the coal ash removed about 80 % of xylenol orange from the aqueous solution withi...

this study evaluates the effectiveness of adsorption process by granular activated carbon (gac) compared with a novel formulation of coagulation - flocculation process for dye removal from textile wastewater. in this regard, acidic, reactive, disperse and direct red dye are used to prepare the synthetic dye. dominant wave length for each dye is determined by spectrophotometeric method. using ga...

in this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene on single walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated.  the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, adsorbent dosage and temperature on its adsorption has been carried out in order to find optimum adsorption conditions. adsorption isotherms and related constants were also determined. results showed that ...

In this study, nano-TiO2 was employed for the adsorption of chloroform from aqueous solution in batch equilibrium experiments to investigate its adsorption properties. The effects of pH, initial chloroform concentration and nano-TiO2 dosage were also investigated. Optimal conditions for chloroform removal by nano-TiO2 have been then identified. Results of equilibrium experiments showed that the...

The adsorption of contaminants plays an important role in the process of their elimination from a polluted environment. This work describes the issue of loading environment with lead Pb(II) and the resulting negative impact it has on plants and living organisms. It also focuses on bentonite as a natural adsorbent and on the adsorption process of Pb(II) ions on the mixture of bentonite and botto...

This work is a part of a comprehensive study on economic re-utilization of a phosphate contaminated industrial water stream in a typical petrochemical plant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The experimental study is primarily the adsorption of orthophosphate at equilibrium conditions on 28x48 mesh Alcan Alumina AA 400G. A fixed amount of orthophosphate solution containing 10 mg/L of phosphorus i...

In this work, the efficiency of activated carbon derived from carbonized date pits (ADP) and rice husks (ARH) was compared with commercial activated carbon (CAC) for the reduction of COD in wastewater arising from resin manufacturing plant. The process was studied in batch mode with employing different absorbents optimizing various parameters, such as adsorbent dosage, contact time and pH. Adso...

Synthetic dyes are extensively used in many industrial applications like textile, leather and cosmetics. The release of various harmful dyes from these industries into the environment has attracted great attention worldwide in recent years. Biosorption is a very effective dye removal technique from aqueous system. In this research, the biosorption performance of cone of red pine for C.I. Basic ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the capacity of natural Turkish zeolite for NH4-N removal from landfill leachate. The effects of modification and initial concentration on the removal of NH4-N from leachate were also investigated. The kinetics of adsorption of NH4-N has been discussed using three kinetic models, i.e., the pseudo-second order model, the Elovich equation, the intrapart...

The present study investigates the biosorption of cadmium ions from aqueous solution onto unmodified, ultrasound and microwave treated cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. FTIR analysis was conducted to characterize the biosorbent. Equilibrium and kinetic studies of unmodified RBW (residual brewery waste) cell yeast and DSM 1333 (pure strain) were conducted by considering the effect of initial ca...
