Water pollution due to organic contaminants is a serious issue because of acute toxicities and carcinogenic nature of the pollutants. Among various water treatment methods, adsorption is supposed as the best one due to its inexpensiveness, universal nature and ease of operation. Many waste materials used include fruit wastes, coconut shell, scrap tyres, bark and other tannin-rich materials, saw...

Two SiO2 and three Al2O3 adsorbents with varying degrees of mesoporosity (pore diameter 2-50 nm) were reacted with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) at pH 6 to investigate the effects of intraparticle mesopores on adsorption/desorption. Anionic 2,4-D did not adsorb onto either SiO2 solid, presumably because of electrostatic repulsion, but it did adsorb onto positively charged Al2O3 adsorbe...

mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi following their infestation of food crops.one of the effective approaches to control aflatoxicosis is the use of adsorbents. the aim thusfollowed in the present study was a comparison of various adsorbents viz. bentonite, zeolite, vs. anorganic commercial adsorbent (mycosorb) and a mineral – organic commercial adsorbent (biotox)regarding th...

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 ...

adsorption is a fundamental process in the physicochemical treatment of wastewaters which industries employ to reduce hazardous organic and inorganic wastes in effluents. in recent years the use of low-cost adsorbents has been widely investigated as a replacement for the currently costly methods of removing heavy metal ions from wastewater. it is well-known that cellulosic waste materials can b...

The adsorption of Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on the carbon adsorbents (Chezacarb S and Chezacarb SH) and polymer adsorbent on basis of polypropylene with polyethylene (Reo Fb) was studied. Efficiency of DEHP adsorption (concentration DEHP to 10 g.L, concentration of the adsorbents 1.7 g.L) was more then 99.9 %. By the sample from groundwater was efficiency more as 99.7 % in the case of...

Various methods have been used to dispose of or utilize municipal sewage sludge (1), including incineration, landfilling, road surfacing, conversion to fertilizer, compression into building blocks, and carbonization (1-4). Since 1976 several patents have been issued on carbonization of sewage sludge and various applications of the final materials (4-7). Carbonization of sludge in the presence o...

Adsorption of sulfur dioxide on carbonaceous materials has been extensively studied (1-18). Activated carbon and activated carbon fibers have been found to be efficient adsorbents for the low temperature removal of SO2. It is believed that sulfur dioxide is adsorbed with two adsorption energies on activated carbons (3-12). The low energy, about 50 kJ/mol, corresponds to weak physical adsorption...

The removal of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from a contaminated DNA solution was achieved using cross-linked cyclodextrin (CyD polymer) beads as LPS adsorbents. The LPS-removing activity of the β- and γ-CyD polymer beads was compared with that of common cationic LPS adsorbents. The γ-CyD polymer beads selectively removed LPS from a DNA solution (50 µg mL(-1), pH 6, ionic strength μ = 0.2) containin...

Introduction Elastic layered metal-organic framework (ELM) adsorbents exhibit a flexible two-dimensional latent porous crystalline structure. ELMs undergo abrupt reversible gated sorption transitions from an empty collapsed structure to a filled expanded porous state through cooperative adsorption of guest molecules between layer planes. Gated adsorption has been observed for methane, nitrogen,...
