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 adsorption behaviour of Methyl violet and Auramine yellow from aqueous solution onto Stishovite clay was investigated as a function of parameters such as initial dye concentration, contact time, p and temperature. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. Adsorption followed pseudo-second order model. The experimental data fitted well ...

The sorption studies of coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) from aqueous solution have been carried out on wheat bran (WB). Coomassie brilliant blue on wheat bran was used to study the adsorption behavior under various parameters such as pH, dosage amount, and contact time. It was observed that under optimized conditions up to 95.70% dye could be removed from solution onto WB. Langmuir and Freundlic...

Rhizomucor tauricus, an industrial fungus, was immobilized in sodium alginate and used as adsorbent for the removal of nickel from aqueous solutions. The biosorption capacity of Ni(II) was found to be 394 mg/g of immobilized biomass. It was observed that an increase in pH from 3 to 6 increased the percent adsorption, and an increase in liquid-to-solid ratio from 2 to 10 increased the metal upta...

abstract uranium is a natural heavy metal widely dispersed across the earth crust. in many cases due to anthropogenic disturbance, it has been found beyond its natural abundance which resulted in soil-water pollution. the objective of this study was to investigate the capability of iranian natural zeolite clinoptilolite for removal of uranium (vi) from aqueous solutions. in order to optimize re...

The adsorption of fluorine ions from aqueous solutions by oxihydroxides of aluminum was studied. The equilibrium sorption was explained by using the Lengmuire, Freundlich, Bet and Redlich-Peterson models of isotherms. The results obtained allow one to conclude that the mathematical model of adsorption Freundlich is the best for describing the measured experimental data, which testifies to the h...
