The present study was conducted for the removal of color of pulp and paper mill effluent using coal fly ash as an adsorbent. The effect of adsorbent dose and pH on color removal has been determined. 100 % color removal was achieved when adsorbent dose was 2.4 gm or more and at pH 6.8 and above.

An Adsorbent based treatment system is presented for toxic metal removal from rinsewater streams. The adsorbent is a Mg-A1 oxide anion exchange material with high capacity (approaching 5.5 meq/g) and strong selectivity for difficult to treat species such as Electroless plating metal chelates, Fixed Cyanides and chrome conversion solutions. Data is presented describing treatment of various metal...

Adsorption studies were conducted to determine whether adsorbent concentration (soil-solution ratio) affected insecticide adsorption by soils and clays. Adsorption isotherms were obtained for several insecticides in Bondhead sandy loam and Ca-saturated illite suspensions using adsorbent concentrations that were varied over several orders of magnitude. There was no evidence that altering adsorbe...

experiments were conducted to study the ability of surfactant-modified clinoptilolite for molybdate adsorption from aqueous solutions. clinoptilolite was treated with some cationic surfactants. adsorption of surfactants on zeolite surface was confirmed by chemical analysis, ir (infra-red spectroscopy), dtg (derivative thermogravimetry) and sem (scanning electron microscopy) techniques. the modi...

Wastewaters obtained from fenvalerate manufacturing process were treated for its safe disposal using activated coconut shell carbon (acc) as adsorbent. In this work, the removal efficiency of organic matter in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) utilizing acc has been investigated. Various parameters which can influence the adsorption like adsorbent dosage, contact time of solution with adsor...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Cytokines play important roles in the pathophysiology of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. Therefore, some effective measures to remove cytokines from the bloodstream could be effective in the treatment of SIRS and sepsis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytokine adsorptive property of various adsorbents for the purpose of the development of ne...

A highly selective ligand exchange type adsorbent was developed for the removal of trace arsenic(V) (As(V)) and phosphate from water. This adsorbent was prepared by loading zirconium(IV) on monophosphonic acid resin. This adsorbent was able to remove toxic anions efficiently at wide pH ranges. However, low pH was preferable for maximum breakthrough capacity in an adsorption operation. The effec...

In some part of the world, groundwater source can become unsafe for drinking due to the high concentration of fluoride ions [1]. The low cost and facile-produced adsorbent like palm stone could effectively removed fluoride ions through adsorption process. In this dataset, the influence of fluoride ion concentration, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time on fluoride ion adsorption by p...

Removal of cadmium from aqueous solution was studied; using platanus orientalis leaves (POL) and their ash in 2006 in Iran. Bach adsorption experiments were performed as a function of solute concentration, contact time, pH and ironic strength for the experiment. The effect of Ca , Mg , Na and K on adsorption was 2+ 2+ + then examined. The effect of this adsorbent on COD in aqueous solution show...
