Abstract Recovery of phosphorus (P) from wastewater is a topic great interest. Besides being non-renewable resource, P discharge in receiving waters can trigger algae blooms. The present study aimed to quantify the removal two sites at treatment plant using calcined eggshell (CES) as adsorbent. CES was prepared raw shells 600 °C (CES600) and 800 (CES800). proved be an efficient material for rem...

Silica aerogels are frequently employed as solid desiccants in enthalpy wheels for dehumidifying the supply stream in air-conditioning systems. These desiccant materials possess good moisture adsorption and desorption characteristics due to their porous structure. Analysis of adsorption and desorption isotherms is critical for performance characterization and is often performed to evaluate the ...

We have studied the interaction of Acetaminophen and Diclofenac solutions, on multi ncarbon nanotube. After investigated comparative study and assigned to either Acetaminophen or Diclofenac adsorption isotherms. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms were fitted by Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin models. It was found that the Temkin model described the adsorption process better than other two is...

Adsorption of ammonia from anaerobic digester effluent by magnetically modified zeolite (MMZ) has been investigated using a batch technique and comparison of adsorption isotherm equations. Adsorption isotherm models were utilized to describe the equilibrium isotherms and the isotherm constants were calculated. The sorption of ammonia follows Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) m...

We have studied the interaction of indomethacin and diclofenac solutions, on multi-walled carbon nanotube. After investigated comparative study and assigned to either indomethacin or diclofenac adsorption isotherms. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms were fitted by Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin models. It was found that the Freundlich model described the adsorption process better than othe...

Madrid, L. and De Arambarri, P., 1978. Adsorption isotherms and hysteresis of proton adsorption by goethite. Geoderma, 21: 199-208. The adsorption of H+ions by goethite is only partially reversible and the adsorption process is faster than desorption. The adsorptian isotherm shows two inflexion points at pH y,alues 7.5 and 9.5, which can be attributed to the existence of two ar more types of OH...

The adsorption of Cu(II) on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (oMWCNTs) as a function of contact time, pH, ionic strength, temperature, and hydroxylated fullerene (C60(OH)n) and carboxylated fullerene (C60(C(COOH)2)n) were studied under ambient conditions using batch techniques. The results showed that the adsorption of Cu(II) had rapidly reached equilibrium and the kinetic process was wel...

This study investigates the capacity of granular activated carbon (GAC) for the storage of methane through the equilibrium adsorption. An experimental apparatus consist of a dual adsorption vessel was set up for the measurement of equilibrium adsorption of methane on GAC using volumetric technique (pressure decay). Experimental isotherms of methane adsorption were determined by the measurement ...

In this study the main physical-chemical characteristics of red ferralitic soil to use as substrate in subsurface wetlands was determined. The P-removal was evaluated in a short-term isotherm batch experiment and in a column percolation experiment. The acid characteristic and high content of iron minerals in the red ferralitic soil facilitated the phosphorus removal. Also the sorption isotherms...

abstract herbicides are the main sources of soil and water pollution in paddy fields. herbicides mobility to the surface and ground water is a major concern for human health and the environment. it is, therefore, necessary to investigate their fate and their interactions in natural ecosystems. to meet this purpose, field experiments were conducted to measure kinetic of thiobencarb dissipation i...
