pollution of water resources by various pollutants is nowadays a global environmental issue. among the different type of water pollutants, dye represents a major polluting group. in this study, azolla filiculides roots have been used for adsorption of malachite green (mg), a cationic dyed from aqueous solution. in this study, effects of operating parameters such as initial concentration of dye ...

removal of cesium from synthetic aqueous solution through adsorption on vermiculite, under batch equilibrium experimental condition at six initial values of ph (3, 4, 6, 9, 11 and 12) and five temperatures (25, 50, 75, 85 and 95 °c) has been investigated. it is necessary to propose a suitable model for a better understanding of the mechanism of cesium adsorption on vermiculite. for this propose...

the adsorption and desorption properties of sqd-85 resin for cu(ii) had been investigated. a series of experiments were conducted in a batch system to assess the effect of the system variables, i.e. initial ph, contact time and temperature. the results show that the optimal ph for the adsorption was 5.99 in the hac-naac system, and the maximum adsorption capacity was estimated to 324 mg/g at 29...

the modeling of kinetic and isotherm curves acquired in adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) as a model compound (phenanthrene) on activated carbons in the organic solvent. all the runs were carried out in a batch system at atmospheric pressure, process temperature of 24±2°c, and using the 100 ml phenanthrene in cyclohexan. this experimental work was mainly focused on the study...

this study reports the removal of cadmium from wastewater in batch mode, using two carbonaceous adsorbents viz. sunflower head carbon (shc) and sunflower stem carbon (ssc) prepared from waste biomass of sunflower. the adsorbents were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (edx). the results of bat...

Interaction of Pb(II) ion with modified banana shell (MBS) and banana shell (BS) during adsorption fromaqueous solution were investigated. Batch experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of contact time,pH, and IDMID ion concentration on adsorption efficiency. The favorable pll for maxim= Pb(II) adsorptionwas at 5.0. For the investigated IMOI) concentrations (10-80 mph), maximum ad...

The discovery of mesoporous molecular sieves, MCM-41, which possesses a regular hexagonalarray of uniform pore openings, aroused a worldwide resurgence in this field. This is not onlybecause it has brought about a series of novel mesoporous materials with various compositionswhich may find applications in catalysis, adsorption, and guest-host chemistry, but also it hasopened a new avenue for cr...

A novel adsorbent (AMPS-silica) was synthesized by bounding AMPS (2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) onto silica surface, which functioned with γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane reagent. The adsorbent was characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurement, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and potentiometric titration analysis. The TGA result indicated that the surface modifi...

Batch hydrolysis of olive oil was performed by Candida rugosa lipase immobilized on Amberlite IRC-50 and Al2O3. These two supports were selected out of 16 carriers: inorganic materials (sand, silica gel, infusorial earth, Al2O3), inorganic salts (CaCO3, CaSO4), ion-exchange resins (Amberlite IRC-50 and IR-4B, Dowex 2X8), a natural resin (colophony), a natural biopolymer (sodium alginate), synth...

Adsorption of gold cyanide on three types of Activated Carbons (ACs) has been investigated in batch and column adsorption conditions. Applied ACs have been derived from different crops precursors i.e., coconut shell (CAC), peach stone (PAC), and walnut shell (WAC). As peach stone and walnut shells are abundant agricultural residues in Iran, the activated carbons produced from these precurso...
