-Sulfate adsorption on kaolinite was followed at 0.7 ~teq/ml to 99/~eq/ml solution concentrations at 30"C and at pH 6.0, and the amount of OHions released and the change in surface charge were determined. Sulfate was adsorbed at positive and neutral sites by displacing O H 2 and OHgroups, respectively. Adsorption of sulfate occurred predominantly at positive sites at low (0.7/~eq/ml to 0.9/~eq/...

Hydrothermally-synthesized titanate nanotubes (TNTs) are found to be excellent at adsorption of highly toxic thallium ions. Uptake of both thallium ions is very fast in the first 10 min. The adsorption isotherm of Tl(I) follows the Langmuir model with maximum adsorption capacity of 709.2 mg g(-1). Ion-exchange between Tl(+) and Na(+) in the interlayers of TNTs is the primary mechanism for Tl(I)...

When treating water with activated carbon, natural organic matter (NOM) is not only a target for adsorptive removal but also an inhibitory substance that reduces the removal efficiency of trace compounds, such as 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), through adsorption competition. Recently, superfine (submicron-sized) activated carbon (SPAC) was developed by wet-milling commercially available powdered act...

we study copper corrosion inhibition by ethanolamine (eta)with (0, 0.2 ,0.3,0.4,0.5) vol.% concentrations in 100 ppm nacl solution. this work is carried out by potentiodynamic measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis). the substrates' surface morphologies are examined by scanning electron microscopy (sem). etais characterized by nmr spectra of eta1h and 13c and fourier ...

the poly(ethyleneimine)-functionalized silica has been developed successfully as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption removal of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater. the influences of ph, contact time and initial concentration of cu(ii) ions on the adsorption capacity and the effect of adsorbent dosage on the removal efficiency of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater were inve...

Batch sorption studies have been carried out to determine the effect of initial concentration of the sorbate, agitation time, adsorbent dose, pH, co-ions and temperature on the adsorption of fluoride on activated carbon prepared from newspaper. The adsorption process was found to be pH, temperature and concentration dependent. The experimental data fitted well to the Freundlich and Langmuir iso...
