Water pollution caused by the lead(II) from the spent liquor has caught much attention. The research from the theoretical model to application fundaments is of vital importance. In this study, lead(II) adsorption isotherms are investigated using a series of hybrid membranes containing mercapto groups (-SH groups) as the hybrid adsorbents. To determine the best fitting equation, the experimental...

Isotherms for the adsorption of KCl in PVOH-borate hydrogel was studied at 303 K by determining the amount of potassium and chloride ions adsorbed in PVOH-borate hydrogel using ion exchange chromatography and potentiometric titrations respectively. Experimental data was tested for Frendulich’s, Langmuir’s, Temkin’s and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms equations. The adsorption data follows isothe...

An uptake of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) from aqueous solutions by ion exchange on natural zeolitic tuff has been studied. The Croatian zeolite clinoptilolite from the Donje Jesenje deposit has been used as a natural ion exchanger. The efficiency of removal is higher for Pb and Cu than for Zn ions. Measured concentrations of Si in the liquid phase identify the detachment of the alumin...
