Background: The presence of heavy metals in the environment especially in water supplies have caused many concerns because of their toxicity and non-degradability. Hexavalent Chromium (Cr) is one of the most toxic metals which is used in many industries, so it is essential to remove it from industrial wastewater. In this study, we made a comparison between different adsorption isotherms in the ...

In the present study seven synthetic polymers were used as adsorbents for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution. The equilibrium studies were systematically carried out in a batch process, covering various process parameters that include agitation time, adsorbent dosage, and pH of the aqueous solution. The analyzing system was an atomic absorption spectrometer (Perkin-Analyst 100). It was...

the aim of the present work was to investigate the ability of cocopeat to remove of lead (ii) from aqueous solutions. the effects of different parameters such as particle size, adsorbent dosage, ph, contact time, agitation speed and concentration on the removal process has been investigated. the maximum removal of lead ion (92.5%) took place in the ph range of 4 contact time in 30 minutes and i...

2014 We present simultaneous measurements of adsorption isotherms and dielectric isotherms for krypton on lamellar halides. The comparison between the two isotherms shows that dielectric method is well adapted to characterize the multilayer formation. The evolution of dielectric properties from a two-dimensional system towards the bulk is also obtained. J. Physique 42 (1981) 559-564 AVRIL 1981,

the hydrogenation characterizations of the hydrogen storage alloy mmni4.22co0.48mn0.15al0.15 (mm= mischmetal), and the effect of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation (h/d) cycling on its structural and morphological properties are investigated. the results indicate that after several h/d cycles the alloy was pulverized into fine particles, but it kept its hexagonal cacu5-type structure. the pressure-c...

We report new results for electrochemical H adsorption on and absorption in octahedral palladium nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) with an average tip-to-tip size of 7.8 nm and a narrow size distribution. They reveal a very high H loading of 0.90 that cannot be achieved using bulk Pd materials or larger NPs; this behavior is assigned to a combination of two factors: their small size and face morphology. T...

We discuss the thermodynamics of physical adsorption of gases in porous solids. The measurement of the amount of gas adsorbed in a solid requires specialized volumetric and gravimetric techniques based upon the concept of the surface excess. Excess adsorption isotherms provide thermodynamic information about the gas-solid system but are difficult to interpret at high pressure because of peculia...
