The adsorption of ammonium ions onto a Chinese natural zeolite in an agitated batch adsorber was studied. A trial-and-error non-linear method was developed to examine two widely used isotherms, the Langmuir and Freundlich. The data gained from the adsorption system fitted the Freundlich isotherm better. An ion exchange model, describing the relationship among the total metal ions in the solutio...

Water pollution caused by the lead(II) from the spent liquor has caught much attention. The research from the theoretical model to application fundaments is of vital importance. In this study, lead(II) adsorption isotherms are investigated using a series of hybrid membranes containing mercapto groups (-SH groups) as the hybrid adsorbents. To determine the best fitting equation, the experimental...

In this study, removal of copper (Cu(2+)) and zinc (Zn(2+)) from aqueous solutions is investigated using Cankiri bentonite, a natural clay. During the removal process, batch technique is used, and the effects of pH, clay amount, heavy metal concentration and agitation time on adsorption efficiency are studied. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms are applied in order to...

In the present study, the adsorption behaviors of mordenite (a common zeolite) with respect to Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ from aqueous solutions were investigated. The sorption data followed the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. The maximum sorption capacities were found to be 9.778 and 5.371 mg/g at pH 6, initial concentration of 40 mg/L and temperature of 30 for Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ , respectively. The kine...

The study involves the batch biosorption process for the removal of Chromium in the aqueous solution using the dried pods of Prosopis spicigera. Factors influencing the biosorption are pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and initial metal ion concentration. Characterization of the biosorbent is carried out to study the morphology by using Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM). The maximum biosorption...

This work reports the adsorption of strontium from aqueous solutions onto PAN/zeolite composite. The strontium adsorption on the composite adsorbent was studied as a function of initial strontium concentration, pH of the solution, contact time and temperature. Adsorption isotherms like Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) and Temkin were used to analyze the equilibrium data at the d...

In this article, adsorption of some amino acids and their complexation with lanthanum(III) ion on carbon nanotube (MWCNT) by using of three relations Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms was investigated. From this relations, Freudlich and Temkin relations predict good equilibrium diagram in isotherm condition. We could compute the theoretical constants by excel software. By considering th...

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...

Carbon slurry, dried in open air, has been used as an adsorbent material for the removal of nickel(II) from aqueous solutions at different experimental conditions in batch adsorption technique. The time required to attain equilibrium was found to be 50 minutes. The effects of initial concentration of Ni(II), particle size of adsorbent, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH on removal of nickel(II)...
