graphene, a new member of the carbon family, was used as an adsorbent due to its exceptional capability to remove rhodamine b (rb) and malachite green (mg), two organic dyes, from aqueous solutions. adsorption kinetics of rb and mg onto graphene and adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were studied. also the effects of parameters, including ph, contact time, temperature, and adsorbent dosage we...

Binding phosphate at participation of alginate/FeCl3 capsules was studied with laboratory experiments. The hydrogel microcapsules were obtained with the dropping-in method, by gelation of sodium alginate water solution by iron (III) chloride solution. Phosphate adsorption characteristics were studied in a static batch system with respect to changes in contact time, initial phosphates concentrat...

The adsorption of nitrogen in a collection of spheres that touch or merge in a sintering-like manner is modeled using a Derjaguin-Broeckhof-de Boer approach. The proposed model accounts for both positive curvature effects and for capillary condensation at the contact between two spheres. A methodology is proposed to fit the P/P(0)>0.4 adsorption region with the coordination number of the sphere...

Grape pomace (pulp and skins) was investigated as a new biosorbent for removing mycotoxins from liquid media. In vitro adsorption experiments showed that the pomace obtained from Primitivo grapes is able to sequester rapidly and simultaneously different mycotoxins. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was the most adsorbed mycotoxin followed by zearalenone (ZEA), ochratoxin A (OTA), and fumonisin B1 (FB1), wher...

Nickel biosorption ability was evaluated in two bacterial strains: Acinetobacter baumannii UCR-2971 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa UCR-2957, resulting in greatest adsorption at pH 4.5 and a residence time of 100 minutes. Biosorption isotherms showed that the process follows the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption rates (Nmax) were 8.8 and 5.7 mg·g for A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa, respectively...

This paper is reporting new finding in the field of adsorbate-adsorbate interaction for supercritical carbon dioxide adsorption by One-Kondo model analysis. Adsorption isotherms for supercritical carbon dioxide on activated carbon Filtrasorb 400 and on zeolite 13X have been evaluated and shown to demonstrate adsorption compression phenomenon at high pressure end just as in subcritical systems. ...

Mesoporous aluminosilicate adsorbents for carbon dioxide were prepared by the grafting of aluminium into SBA-15 silica using an aqueous solution of aluminium chlorohydrate. As the ion exchange sites are primarily associated with the presence of tetrahedrally coordinated aluminium, extra-framework aluminium on the SBA-15 surface was inserted into the silica matrix by a treatment with an aqueous ...

A composite foam of polyurethane/chitosan with chitosan content of 20 wt% was successfully prepared as an adsorbent for the removal of malachite green from aqueous solution, the structures and properties were characterized by scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed open cell content of polyurethane/chitosan was more than 95% and open cell str...

In this paper, methane adsorption on open ended single-walled carbon nanotubes (o-SWCNT) is studied using molecular dynamics simulation. A site-site potential model of so-called Leonard-Jones is considered to evaluate all interactions. Monolayer/multilayer adsorption isotherms for methane inside/outside of an armchair (10, 10) o-SWCNT are obtained at different temperatures. The simulation data ...

The management of anaerobic digestate is important to realize the value waste and enhance whole system sustainability digestion. In this study, phosphorus treatment dirty irrigation water by biochar samples derived from digestion were investigated. biochars further activated steam activation with different duration time KOH introducing ratios; textural properties optimized after aspect characte...
