This study investigated the effect of temperature, different concentrations of sodium carbonate,and the dose of organic solvent on the desorption of Reactive Red 198 dye from dye-saturated activated carbon using batch and continuous systems. The results of the batch desorption test showed 60% acetone in water as the optimum amount. However, when the concentration of sodium carbonate was raised,...

adsorption of anilofos was studied in four soils (topsoil from alfisol, inceptisol, oxisol and vertisol). the order of adsorption of anilofos was vertisol > oxisol > alfisol > inceptisol. the soil sorption coefficient k and the soil organic carbon sorption coefficient koc are the basic parameters used for describing the environmental fate of the herbicides. in top soil the calculated k values w...

bioremediation of heavy metals remains a major challenge in environmental biotechnology. biosorption is a novel technique for decreasing metal ion content in the waste water. biosorption experiments for cu (ii) were investigated in this study using bacteria isolated from the industrial effluent. the results showed that the dead cells of pseudomonas sp. were an efficient adsorbent of cu (ii). fo...

the equilibrium moisture content is an important parameter for several post-harvesting operations for pistachio nuts, such as drying processes and storage. in this re-search the adsorption and desorption equilibrium moisture content were determined for two major varieties of iranian pistachios at 11 to 85 percent relative humidities and a con-stant temperature of 50°c. a significant hysteresis ...

abstractbackground and objectives:the phosphorus is second limiting nutrient in soil for crop production after nitrogen. mobility and availability of phosphorus (p) in soils is affected by phosphorus desorption characteristics. information about the effect of organic matter on kinetics and thermodynamics of p desorption in calcareous soils of east azerbaijan province is limited. the objective o...

A method for estimating thermal desorption curves and desorption efficiencies of organic solvents from activated carbon was developed for the determination of adsorbed solvent by thermal desorption method, and the estimated values were compared with the experimental values. The Freundlich or the Langmuir isotherm was assumed in obtaining the solution. Thermal desorption experiments were conduct...

Direct D atom desorption, as well as associative desorption of D(2) molecules are observed in thermal desorption from D atoms chemisorbed on a C(0001) surface by combining laser induced T-jumps with resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization detection. Bleaching curves suggest that different classes of chemisorbed D atom clusters are present on the initial surface. The energy resolved atomic des...

Pyrethroid insecticides have been widely detected in sediments at concentrations that can cause toxicity to aquatic organisms. Desorption rates play an important role in determining the bioavailability of hydrophobic organic compounds, such as pyrethroids, because these compounds are more likely to be sorbed to solids in the environment, and times to reach sorptive equilibrium can be long. In t...

Platinum particles were grown directly by an electrodeposition process on electrochemically treated carbon paper (CP) for kinetic study of carbon monoxide (CO) desorption. The treatment on CP was performed by applying −2 V for cathodic oxidation over 5 min. Treated CP was characterized by FTIR to investigate the oxygen groups on its surface. CO surface coverage at each temperature was determine...
