the performance of msu-s and its forms modified with phosphotungstic acid (hpw) and nickel (ni) for the desulfurization and denitrogenation of model diesel fuel were studied. according to the results of the characteristic tests (n2 adsorption-desorption, xrd, sem, and nh3-tpd), heteropoly acid incorporation causes higher acidity along with a negligible loss of structural aspects, while ni impre...

A literature review of the use of sorbents and biosorbents to treat polluted aqueous effluents containing dyes/organics or metal ions has been conducted. Over 70 systems have been reported since 1984 and over 43 of these reported the mechanism as being a pseudo-first order kinetic mechanism. Three sorption kinetic models are presented in this paper and have been used to test 11 of the literatur...

The adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol A on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. The results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...

The aim of the present work was to investigate the ability of Cocopeat to remove of lead (II) from aqueous solutions. The effects of different parameters such as particle size, adsorbent dosage, pH, contact time, agitation speed and concentration on the removal process has been investigated. The maximum removal of lead ion (92.5%) took place in the pH range of 4 contact time in 30 minutes a...

The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between benzaldehyde 1, malononitrile 2 and dimedone 3 in a mixture of ethanol and water as solvents in the presence of fructose as a biodegradable catalyst has been studied by the spectroscopic method (UV-Vis spectrophotometry method). The influence of various parameters (temperature, solvent and concentration) was studied on the reaction by means of ...

This paper presents the feasibility of removal of MB dye from aqueous solution using activated carbon prepared from Usoro fiber (Adenia lobata). FTIR analysis revealed that many functional groups were present on the surface of the adsorbent. The adsorption Kinetics was analyzed by pseudo first order, pseudo second order and intra particle diffusion kinetics models. Results showed that MB adsorp...

Kinetics of phosphate adsorption by Ca/Cr layered double hydroxide (LDH) in a batch reactor was investigated this study. The kinetic experiments indicated that the sorption from synthetic feed solution synthesised LDH very fast, with over 98% removal being achieved within 5 min contact. Kinetic modeling process to different models (pseudo first order, pseudo second Elovich and intraparticle dif...
