The isothermal adsorption of nicotine from an aqueous solution onto zeolite type USY at temperature range from 298 to 322 K was investigated. It was found that the adsorption isotherms can be described by the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The density distribution function of adsorption centers has an exponential form and the adsorption isotherms can be fitted by the Freundlich isotherm. The c...

A comparison of the linear least-squares method and a trial-and-error non-linear method of three widely used isotherms (the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Redlich-Peterson) were examined in an experiment using lead ion sorption onto peat at different temperatures. The four Langmuir linear equations are discussed. Langmuir isotherm parameters obtained from the four Langmuir linear equations using the...

In the present work, the usefulness of dried activated sludge has been investigated for the removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions. Kinetic data and equilibrium sorption isotherms were measured in batch conditions. The influence of initial pH, metal concentration and copper salt nature on the metal removal kinetics has been studied. Copper uptake was time contact, initial copper concentr...

A thermally enhanced pump-and-treatment method for pentachlorophenol (PCP)-contaminated soil and groundwater has shown potential advantages over the traditional pump-and-treatment method. Studies on the desorption kinetics of PCP from aquifer soil are the first step toward quantitative assessment of the newly proposed method. Five series of desorption batch tests were conducted at different tem...

It is the purpose of this paper to investigate data fitting attributes exponential integral isotherm, which was first derived by Ruthven in 2004 describe adsorption at gas–solid interfaces. The a variant virial incorporates two parameters Langmuir isotherm and has an expandable mathematical structure. lain dormant for nearly 20 years. This fact may seem surprising considering versatility as wil...

abstract phosphorus (p) sorption in soils is a key process governing the availability of p to crops. p sorption characteristics and their relationship to soil properties were determined in twenty-one paired surface soil samples (21 cultivated and 21 adjacent virgin soils) belonging to five soil types: typic calcixerepts, typic haploxerepts, typic endoaquepts, vertic endoaquepts, and vertic calc...

considering the point that the existence of heavy metals in the wastewater are so dangerous forthe environment and it would have many bad consequences for all the creatures including human beings, wemust try out the ways that make us capable of adsorbing these heavy metals. in order to accomplish this goal we should use a method called adsorbing. in this study the adsorption of copper ions in h...

in this study caulerpa racemosa has been characterized and used for the removal of cd(ii) and pb (ii) from aqueous solutions. the effect of ph, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature on adsorption process was studied in batch experiments. langmuir and freundlich models were applied to describe the biosorption isotherm of the metal ions by c. racemosa biomass. the adsorption data can be ...
