After synthesizing Ag nanoparticles and loading onto activated carbon (from olive stone), the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) onto the prepared nanoparticles was studied. In this connection, the effect of experimental parameters such as pH range, reagent concentration, contact time, dosage amount of adsorbent and so on, on the adsorption process were studied. The experimental results were anal...

Chemically modified kenaf core fibres were prepared via esterification in the presence of citric acid (CA). The adsorption kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out under different conditions to examine the adsorption efficiency of CA-treated kenaf core fibres towards methylene blue (MB). The adsorption capacity of the kenaf core fibres increased significantly after the citric acid treatme...

Adsorption plays an important role in water and wastewater treatment. The analysis and design of processes that involve adsorption rely on the availability of isotherms that describe these adsorption processes. Adsorption isotherms are usually estimated empirically from measurements of the adsorption process variables. Unfortunately, these measurements are usually contaminated with errors that ...

The sorption isotherm is important information for evaluating the ability of an adsorption system to treat the industrial waste water. In this study, eleven datasets from literatures were selected and three two-parameter and threeparameter equations were used to evaluate adsorption systems. Quantitative criteria included six error functions, and the quantitative criterion was residual plots. Is...

The present study reports the kinetic and absorption performance of novel nanometre scale hydroxyapatite (HAP) absorber synthesised from a combined ultrasound and microwave based technique for the removal of metal ions (Fe, Cu and Zn) from aqueous solutions. After powder characterisation was carried out using XRD, SEM, EDS and FT-IR, batch adsorption studies were carried out. Kinetic studies es...

Bernal suggested that clays might have played a significant role in primitive earth through the process of concentration and adsorption of the biologically formed biomonomers and thus protecting them against hydrolytic fission.Adsorption of adenine was studied in presence of montmorillonite clay with or without cations Ca+,Cu+,Mg+.Studies carried out have shown that adsorption of adenine was de...

The adsorption behavior of chlorendic acid (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7-hexachlorobicyclo-(2, 2, 1) -hept-5-ene-2, 3dicarboxylic acid) onto hydrophilic fumed TiO2 (P-25, Degussa) in aqueous suspension was investigated. Results indicate that chlorendic acid adsorbed strongly in short times (2-5 mins) onto TiO2. Adsorption data is consistent with LangmuirHinshelwood isotherm model for monolayer adsorption a...

The present work investigates the equilibrium adsorption of Chrysene on multi-walled carbon nanotubes at 293, 303 and 313°K, and determines the equilibrium adsorption isotherms and thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS). The values of ΔH and ΔG suggested that the adsorption of Chrysene onto MWCNTs was endothermic and nonspontaneous.The experimental data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlic...

Polyaniline titanotungstate (PATiW) was synthesized by the sol-gel method. Adsorption isotherm studies of Cs from aqueous solution are described. Elemental Composition, chemical solubility, ion-exchange capacity (IEC) and pH titration are studied. Distribution coefficients (Kd) for ten metal ions have been determined. It was found that the polyaniline titanotungstate has high affinity and high ...

A favorable isotherm open to the right to some extent is better than a linear isotherm to give shorter column height in pressure swing adsorption(PSA). We face to a problem how favorable isotherm is actually favorable in PSA operation. The purpose of this paper is to propose how to construct such a custom made isotherm which optimizes the PSA processes. The PSA mod...
