a novel composite adsorbent, silica aerogel activated carbon was synthesized by sol-gel process atambient pressure drying method. the composite was characterized by fourier transform infraredspectroscopy (ft-ir), scanning electron microscopy (sem), differential scanning calorimetry(dsc) and nitrogen adsorption / desorption isotherms (bet).in the present study, the mentioned adsorbent was used m...

Adsorption of 1-Butanol, Phenol, and P-nitrophenol on activated carbon havebeen studied. The results were used to testifying the validity of different modelsbased on thermodynamic principles: Freundlich, Langmuir and Henry isotherms.The maximum capacity of adsorbent for three compounds was determined, Theconstants of equilibrium were determined by Freundlich isotherm and virialisotherm expressi...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the adsorption capacity of the novel coated activated carbon by chitosan for removal of Cr (VI) and Cd (II) ions from single and bi-solute dilute aqueous solutions. In addition, the adsorption abilities of activated carbon (AC), chitosan (CH) and chitosan / activated carbon composite (CHAC) have been compared. Adsorption studies were performed in a batch sy...

The adsorption ability of activated carbon, chitosan, and chitosan/activated carbon composite for cadmium separation from aqueous solution was analyzed via statistical physical modeling. The equilibrium data were analyzed by Langmuir, Hill, double layer model, and the multi-layer model with saturation isotherm models. Results showed that the multi-layer model with saturation could well describe...

to day, the activated carbon is being used to treat the industrial and domestic wastewaters. the suitability of activated carbon for treatment of industrial wastewaters can be quickly predicted by consideration of wastewater characteristics. the results of this paper represent a first step in determining suitability of activated carbon for treatment of wastewaters or effluent of treatment plant...

the objective of this study was to assess the potential of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles loaded onto activated carbon (cdsn-ac) for the removal of sunset yellow (sy) dye from aqueous solution. adsorption studies were conducted in a batch mode varying solution ph, contact time, initial dye concentration, cdsn-ac dose. in order to investigate the efficiency of sy adsorption on cdsn-ac, pseudo-fir...
