With a layered structure, layered double hydroxide (LDH) has potential applications in remediation of anionic contaminants, which has been a hot topic for recent years. In this study, a Cl type Mg-Al hydrotalcite (Cl-LDH) was prepared by a co-precipitation method. The adsorption process of three pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) [tetracycline (TC), diclofenac sodium (DF), chlor...

A general mathematical model for supercritical CO2 adsorption on activated carbon have been developed. Adsorption curves obtained with a laboratory plant (adsorber of 10 mL) have been adjusted with this model and the results have been extrapolated to adjust the breakthrough curves obtained with a pilot plant (adsorber of 1L). The proposed model is general and takes into account equilibrium (ads...

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...

in this study, the removal of as (v) from water resources by using aluminum-coated pumice as a new adsorbent was assessed. the features of the adsorbent coating layer were observed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).the effects of various parameters such as adsorbent doses, ph, contact time, arsenate initial concentration and interfering ions in arsenic adsorpt...

background and purpose: phenol and derivatives are common pollutants of drinking water which are blamed for crucial adverse effects such as poisoning, cancer, and malformation. in this study, an activated carbon of miswak’s root (mr) was used for the removal of phenol from aqueous solutions as a low-cost and high surface adsorbent. materials and methods: adsorption experiments were then conduct...

We develop a model of transport in multiscale porous media which accounts for adsorption in the different porosity scales. This model employs statistical mechanics to upscale molecular simulation and describe adsorption and transport at larger time and length scales. Using atom-scale simulations, which capture the changes in adsorption and transport with temperature, pressure, pore size, etc., ...

in this work, the removal of copper from an aqueous solution by granular activated carbon (gac) in the presence of competitor ions was studied. a batch adsorption was carried out and different parameters such as ph, contact time, initial copper concentration and competitor ions concentration were changed to determine the optimum conditions for adsorption. the optimum ph required for maximum ads...

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...
