Removal of fluoride ions was investigated using a new adsorbent of yttrium alginate biocomposite (YALG). Effect of various parameters such as pH, contact time, initial concentration of fluoride ions and temperature on the sorption capacity of adsorbent was studied. Performing a mathematical assessment of fluoride sorption, isotherm and kinetics models including Freundlich & Langmuir isotherms a...

According to the increasing development of the mankind, social and technology activities in the earth, various industry is in a state of uncontrolled growth. In the present study, magnetite/nickel oxide mixed metal oxide nanoparticles (FNMMO NPs) were prepared by a simple method assisted by ultrasonic waves and applied as a novel adsorbent to dispose of dye wastewater. The morphology and chemic...

background: in recent years, various toxic chemicals/compounds have been widely detected at dangerous levels in drinking water in many parts of the world posing a variety of serious health risks to human beings. one of these toxic chemicals is lead, so this paper aimed to evaluate of efficiency coconut husk as cheap adsorbent for removal lead under different conditions. methods: in the spring o...

removal of cesium from synthetic aqueous solution through adsorption on vermiculite, under batch equilibrium experimental condition at six initial values of ph (3, 4, 6, 9, 11 and 12) and five temperatures (25, 50, 75, 85 and 95 °c) has been investigated. it is necessary to propose a suitable model for a better understanding of the mechanism of cesium adsorption on vermiculite. for this propose...

Analytical ultracentrifugation is one of the classical techniques for the study of protein interactions and protein self-association. Recent instrumental and computational developments have significantly enhanced this methodology. In this paper, new tools for the analysis of protein self-association by sedimentation velocity are developed, their statistical properties are examined, and consider...

adsorption capacity of cr (vi) onto cousinia eryngioides boiss, activated carbon was investigated in a batch system by considering the effects of various parameters like contact time, initial concentration, ph, temperature, agitation speed, absorbent dose and particle size. cr (vi) removal is ph dependent and found to be maximum at ph 2.0. the amounts of cr (vi) adsorbed increased with increase...

in this study metal oxide nano powder namely nio nanopowder was prepared .the producedmetal oxide was characterized and used as potential adsorbent for the removal of pb and zn from aqueoussolution. the rate of uptake of the pb and zn are rapid in the beginning and the time required for equilibrium adsorption is 120 min .the time of equilibrium as well as time required to achieve a definite fra...

Adsorption of poloxamine 908, a tetrafunctional polyethylene oxide (PEO)-polypropylene oxide ethylenediamine block copolymer, onto the surface of monodispersed polystyrene nanoparticles (232 +/- 0.33 nm) follows a bimodal pattern. Initially, the isotherm follows a Langmuir profile with a plateau observable over a very narrow equilibrium poloxamine concentration (0.0018-0.0031 mM). The isotherm ...

The water relations play a fundamental role in seed comprehension of biology. In order to describe the process of drying and the effect on water activity, which controls biological change in storage, a sound knowledge of the relationship between equilibrium moisture content (EMC) and water activity/equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) is essential. The relationship between the total moisture con...

This research presents adsorption potential of surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulphate; SDS) coated magnetite nanoparticles as suitable and efficient adsorbent for the removal of Basic Blue 41 (BB 41), as a cationic dye from textile’s company wastewater. The effects of various experimental parameters (e.g. initial pH of the solution, SDS amount, and ionic strength) on the adsorption efficiency of B...
