land treatment method of municipal and industrial wastewaters for utilization of nutrients in the wastes for raising useful crops and tertiary(or advanced) treatment of the water for improving stream quality or to recharge falling water tables is increasing in some parts of the world, particulary in the arid area. as emphasis in this type of treatment method and prevention of surface and underg...

in this study, the adsorption of hexavalent chromium and zinc ions from the solution is investigated by raw red mud and mechanical-chemical activated red mud along with the possibility of selective reclamation of these ions from the solution. the mechanical-chemical activation of red mud was done by employing high-energy milling and subsequent acid treatment with hno3. raw red mud (rrm) and mec...

differential scanning calorimetry (dsc), temperature programmed desorption mass spectrometry (tpd-ms) and small angle neutron scattering (sans) were used to investigate co2 uptake by the wyodak coal. adsorption of carbon dioxide on wyodak coal was studied by dsc. the exotherms evident at low temperatures are associated with the uptake of co2 suggesting that carbon dioxide interacts strongly wit...

Permporometry as well as nitrogen adsorption-desorption techniques have been applied to study the pore size distribution in y-alumina membranes with a pore radius ranging from about 2 nm to 10 nm. The permporometry technique measures the active pores only, while nitrogen adsorption-desorption measures the active as well as the passive pores. The pore size distribution in the porous ceramic memb...

A low-cost activated carbon (XSBLAC) prepared from XanthocerasSorbifoliaBungehull via chemical activation was investigated to determine its adsorption and desorption properties for zinc(II) ions from aqueous solutions. XSBLAC was characterized based on its N₂-adsorption/desorption isotherm, EDX, XRD, SEM and FTIR results. An adsorption study was conducted in a series of experiments to optimize ...

Water adsorption is becoming increasingly important for many applications including thermal energy storage, desalination, and water harvesting. To develop such applications, it is essential to understand both adsorbent-adsorbate and adsorbate-adsorbate interactions, and also the energy required for adsorption/desorption processes of porous material-adsorbate systems, such as zeolites and metal-...

The aim of this work is to evaluate the adsorption performances of activated carbon derived from sewage sludge (ACSS) for gaseous formaldehyde removal compared with three commercial activated carbons (CACs) using self-designing adsorption and distillation system. Formaldehyde desorption of the activated carbons for regeneration was also studied using thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The porous ...

The reversíbilíty of the adsorption of phosphate on goethite was measured by dlluting suspensions of goethite on which phosphate was adsorbed with large volumes oí phosphate-frce solution at the same ioníe strength. The effect on the reversibility of various adsorptíon and desorption conditions was studied, particularly pH, temperature, ionic strength and time of reaction. The apparent irrevers...

BACKGROUND Considerable works have been reported concerning the obstruction of enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency by lignin. However, there is a lack of information about the influence of lignin on the adsorption of cellulases on cellulose, along with the hydrolytic activity of the cellulases adsorbed on lignin. In addition, limited discovery has been reported about the influence of additives on c...
