Rhizomucor tauricus, an industrial fungus, was immobilized in sodium alginate and used as adsorbent for the removal of nickel from aqueous solutions. The biosorption capacity of Ni(II) was found to be 394 mg/g of immobilized biomass. It was observed that an increase in pH from 3 to 6 increased the percent adsorption, and an increase in liquid-to-solid ratio from 2 to 10 increased the metal upta...

In this paper, the adsorption of cerium on modified Mesoporous aluminosilicate (with Si/Al mole ratio of 10) was studied. The effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration of cerium on adsorption of cerium were investigated. The adsorption capacity was high in the pH range of 4-8 and decreases with decreasing of the pH value. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were applied to represent ...

Adsorption of Nickel(II) ion onto Activated Carbon prepared from Delonix regia pods activated with Zinc chloride (DRZAC) under various experimental conditions were studied. Batch mode adsorption experiments were conducted. The characteristics of the DRZAC were determined by SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET analysis and pHZPC. The maximum removal efficiency of Ni(II) ion is 85% at pH 6. Under the chosen cond...

This study was focused on nettle ash as an alternative adsorbent for the removal of nickel (II) and cadmium (II) from wastewater. Batch experiments were conducted to determine the factors affecting adsorption of nickel (II) and cadmium (II). The adsorption process is affected by various parameters such as contact time, solution pH and adsorbent dose. The optimum pH required for maximum adsorpti...

An experimental study has been conducted on the adsorption of Direct red-28 dye using activated carbon prepared from Punica granatum (Pomegranate rind) by chemical activation with sulphuric acid. BET surface area of the activated carbon was determined as 1075.6 m.g and SEM observations showed the amorphous nature of the carbon. Adsorption kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamics were investigat...

In this study, Hippospongia communis marine demosponge skeleton was used as an adsorbent for sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC). Obtained results indicate the high sorption capacity of this biomaterial with respect to SCC. Batch experiments were performed under different conditions and kinetic and isotherms properties were investigated. Acidic pH and the addition of sodium chloride increased SCC...

in the present work, we have investigated the sorption efficiency of the treated activated carbon from walnut shell(acw) towards direct red 81 (dr81) and direct blue 71 (db71) for the removal from aqueous solution. thesorption study of acw at the solid-liquid interface was investigated using kinetic, sorption isotherms, ph effectand amount of adsorbent. experimental data were analyzed by langmu...

The current investigation deals with utilizing Treated Goat Hoof (TGH), a no cost material derived from butcher shop for the removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous media. FTIR / SEM analyses are carried out for the functional groups identification and describe the surface morphology of the chosen material respectively. Batch studies are experimented under varied operating factors viz., ...

The ability of the activated carbon prepared from Eichornia Crassipes to remove Reactive Magenta B and Reactive Turquoise Blue dyes from aqueous solution has been carried out as a function of contact time, dose (0.1-0.60 mg/50ml for Magenta B and 0.25-2.0 mg/50ml for Turquoise Blue), pH (2-10) and concentration (25, 50, 75, 100mg.L). An amount of 0.6 g of the adsorbent could remove 56.0% of the...
