The present study examined the adsorption of silver ion in aqueous solution onto natural clinoptilolite zeolite from Futatsui Mine, Akita Prefecture, Japan. The effects of various parameters, i.e., solution pH, adsorbent dosage, adsorption time, silver ion solution concentration, and temperature, on silver ion adsorption process onto clinoptilolite were examined. Additionally, the thermodynamic...

in the present investigation, dead bacterium biomass streptomyces rimosus was used as an inexpensive and efficient biosorbent for cr (iii) removal from aqueous solution. the bacterial biomass was treated with 0.1 m naoh. sorption level of 65 mg/g was observed at ph 4.8 while precipitation effect augmented this value at higher ph range. chromium desorption increased with decreasing desorption ag...

The current study focused on utilizing cobalt oxide to eliminate hazardous Eriochrome Black T (EBT) dye. impact of pH (2, 4, 7, 8, and 10) temperature (45, 50, 55 °C) was examined for EBT removal. results show that the maximum sorption occurred at = 2 removal percentage increased with increasing temperature. Five non-linear regression methods were used predict best isotherm kinetic models. A co...

ABSTRACT: Brewer’s spent grain (BSG) is a residue from brewery production, that can be reused as adsorbent of heavy metals like Chromium (Cr). In this study, BSG was used biochar for Cr adsorption in batch experiments. The pyrolysis temperature (500, 600 and 700ºC), time (30, 105 180 minutes) zinc chloride concentration (5, 12.5 20%) were evaluated optimized fractional factorial design. An equi...

The adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in three aqueous systems were examined in this study. Langmuir isotherm was used to satisfactorily predict the adsorption capacity of PEG on activated carbon F-400 and applied to the investigation of adsorption kinetics. The surface diffusion, pore diffusion, and branched pore kinetics models successfully described the adsorpt...

batch experiments were conducted to study the adsorption behaviors of lead ion (pb2+) onto ferrihydrites prepared using three different procedures which were characterized  by textural analysis (bet). the adsorption removal of pb2+ by the three ferrihydrites (called fh-1, fh-2 and fh-3, respectively) were compared, and fh-3 shows fast adsorption kinetics as well as high adsorption capacities, t...
