A low cost adsorbent Fly Ash was used for the removal of Reactive Red 194 dye (RR 194 dye) from textile effluent. The Fly ash was activated by chemical treatment by N/2 H2SO4. Batch adsorption experiments were performed as functions of adsorbent doses, initial dye concentration, contact time, and pH. The percentage of colour removal was increased with decreasing dye concentration and increasing...

A number n is said to be economical if the prime power factori-sation of n can be written with no more digits than n itself. We show that under a plausible hypothesis, related to the twin prime conjecture, there are arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive economial numbers, and exhibit such a sequence of length 9.

abstract: â in this study adiffusion based mathematical model was developed to compare the performance of amine-grafted adsorbents with that of 13x zeolite in a fixed-bed adsorption tower which is used to capture co2 from both humid and dry nitrogen stream under industrial conditions. the results show that the performance of amine-grafted adsorbent and 13x zeolite is almost the same in the dry ...

A study was carried out to find out efficiency of rice bran in removal of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium from bisolute system. The different experimental conditions such as temperature, adsorbent amount, adsorbent particle size and concentration were studied. The results showed that 100% removal was achieved for both lead and cadmium by using rice bran at 300C, contact time 100-140 minut...

The objective of this work is to study the removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous solution using low cost adsorbent obtained from the leaves of Andrographis paniculata. Batch adsorption studies were carried out by observing the effects of various experimental parameters, such as dye concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose, effect of temperature and pH. The data were fitted into the Lang...

This article describes the use of a power plant waste-Bottom Ash, as effective adsorbent for the removal of toxic Azo dyes Carmoisine and Chrysoidine Y from their aqueous solution. The paper incorporates comparative study and discussion of the adsorption characteristics of these dyes on the economically effective adsorbent with special emphasis on the effects of time and temperature. The charac...

Crystal violet (CV) was removed from aqueous solutions using walnut shell (WS) as an adsorbent. The effect of initial ph, contact time, adsorbent level and temperature on CV adsorption, were studied in batch mode. The results indicated that both the Langmuir and the Freundlich equations effectively described the adsorption equilibrium. A pseudo second-order kinetics provided a perfect fit for t...

The effects of varying operating conditions on metals removal from aqueous solution using a novel platinum nanopartcles/Zeolite-4A adsorbent are reported in this paper. Characterization of the adsorbent showed successful production of platinum nanopartcles on Zeolite-4A using 3 Wt% platinum. The effects of operation conditions on metals removal using this adsorbent were investigated. The optima...

The potential feasibility of anionic clay hydrotalcite for removal of eriochrome black dye from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of various experimental parameters such as contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage were investigated. The extent of eriochrome black dye removal increased with the increased in contact time, pH and amount of adsorbent used. Adsorption data was fitted to th...
