The adsorption equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamics of removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid (2,4-D) from aqueous solutions by a calcined Zn-Al layered double hydroxide incorporated with Zr(4+) were studied with respect to time, temperature, pH, and initial 2,4-D concentration. Zr(4+) incorporation into the LDH was used to enhance 2,4-D uptake by creating higher positive charges and s...

abstract: â in this study adiffusion based mathematical model was developed to compare the performance of amine-grafted adsorbents with that of 13x zeolite in a fixed-bed adsorption tower which is used to capture co2 from both humid and dry nitrogen stream under industrial conditions. the results show that the performance of amine-grafted adsorbent and 13x zeolite is almost the same in the dry ...

Abstract The chemical regeneration process has been extensively applied to reactivate biochar, supporting its reusability and leading significant operating cost reduction. However, no recent review discusses the effectiveness of biochar regeneration. Thus, this article comprehensively reviews contaminated with organic inorganic pollutants. Performance depends on adsorption mechanism, functional...

In the process of crude oil desalination, the aim is to separate dispersed phase of brine from oil phase. The project aim is the use of carbon nano-adsorbent for remov-al of salt from crude oil that, unlike other methods of salt separation from crude oil currently used, is a simple, inexpensive method with good ability to remove salt from crude oil. In this study, first, four types of carbon ad...

Abstract The hydrotreating (HDT) process currently used to reduce the sulphur content in fuels requires high energy consumption and hydrogen. Furthermore, presence of nitrogen compounds makes them more severe. This work studies removal present a sample heavy diesel using commercial silica sample. Adsorption tests were performed stirring bath generate equilibrium data. Three test conditions at t...

The glycerol desorption from the ion exchange and adsorbent resin Purolite PD206 was studied using conventional and supercritical fluids techniques. Untreated biodiesel was purified by dry washing using the resin and, after purification, the glycerol desorption was carry out using three diferent solvents: absolute ethanol under atmospheric conditions at different mass flows (10 and 30 g/min), o...

The adsorptive capability of superheated steam activated biochar (SSAB) produced from Colocasia esculenta was investigated for removal of Cu(2+), Fe(2+) and As(5+) from simulated coal mine wastewater. SSAB was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyser. Adsorption isotherm indicated monolayer adsorption which fitted...

Layered double hydroxide (LDHs) are widely used adsorbents for methylene blue removal. However, LDHs have a perishable structure that cannot be repeatedly. Modifying with chitosan produces strong material large surface area adsorption. Adsorption conditions were optimized by determining the adsorption isotherms and adsorbent regeneration process. Results showed process was balanced in 90 min ma...

Thermally treated egg shell materials were prepared at different temperatures. The samples were investigated by means of FT-IR and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption behaviour of malathion on egg shell and its thermally treated samples was studied using batch method and gave uptake capacities up to 0.964 mmol/g. Adsorption kinetics as well as the adsorption isotherms were discusse...
