the adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol a on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. the results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...

hydrothermal synthesis of nickel-chitosan hybrid  has  been accomplished using ni(ch3coo)2,4h2o, chitosan and water as starting material, template and solvent respectively, followed by calcination at 800 and 900˚c to provide nanoporous nio800  and nio900. the solid products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and four...

the present study was carried out to investigate the potential of carboxylate group functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnt−cooh) adsorbent for the removal of methyl orange (mo) textile dye from aqueous solutions. the effects of ph, shaking time and temperature on adsorption capacity were studied; the contact time to obtain equilibrium at 298 ˚k was fixed at 25 min. the effect of te...

in this study, removal of acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate mcm-41 modified by aminopropyltriethoxysilane (aptes) composite was studied. properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by sem, edx and ftir. results show that langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order m...

In this paper the time dependence of adsorption at solid-Iiquid interface is discussed for both the mass-transport and intrinsic kinetic control of the adsorption process. It has been shown that the time dependence of adsorption of the mass-transport control' of the adsorption process is mostly dependent on the strength of adsorption (natur al diffusion) and sametimes on the mass-transport coef...

Aqueous-phase edsorption equilibrium and kinetic mechanism of phenol, 3-chlorophenol rnd o-cresol onto Norit Granular Activaied Caibon (NAC 1240) were studied in a batch system at temperature of 30 oC, agitation speed of 120 rpm, initial phenol concentrations of 25-200 mg/t. The elfects of initid phenol concentration and time of adsorption on phenol adsorption process were lnvestigated. The ads...

Hexavalent chromium, a highly toxic metal ion employed in industrial activities, is considered as a first priority pollutant. In this study, the capsule walls of the boll of cotton (cotton waste, CW) and the waste obtained from pruning barberry bushes (barberry waste, BW) were investigated as cheap and locally available adsorbents for Cr (VI) removal. The adsorption behavior, equilibrium, and k...

Applications of second-order kinetic models to adsorption systems were reviewed. An overview of second-order kinetic expressions is described in this paper based on the solid adsorption capacity. An early empirical second-order equation was applied in the adsorption of gases onto a solid. A similar second-order equation was applied to describe ion exchange reactions. In recent years, a pseudo-s...

in this work the kinetic data demanded for kinetic modeling were obtained in temperatures 350, 400, 450 and 500 oc by conducting experimentations on a fe-cr nanocatalyst prepared from a novel method and a commercial fe-cr-cu one. the collected data were subjected to kinetic modeling by using two models derived from redox and associative mechanisms as well as an empirical one. the coefficients o...
