There is a growing need to develop technologies that can separate and selectively remove hazardous chemical species from waste effluents. Selective removal of cadmium ions through a supported liquid membrane (SLM) containing triethanolamine (TEA) as a mobile carrier has been studied. The effects of Cd(II) concentration, HCl in feed and carrier concentration in membrane has been studied. Cd(II) ...

The present paper concerns on the selective and very efficient transport of thorium(IV) ions from aqueous solutions through an emulsion liquid membranes composed by paraffin and a surfactant, without carrier requirement. The influence of pH of the external aqueous phase, the surfactant concentration in the membrane phase, the type, and concentration of th...

Presence of heavy metal ions in wastewater is an important public concern. Adsorption are commonly used technique to remove various pollutants, including the ions, from contaminated water sources. However, common methods for adsorption are not completely efficient at low ion concentrations and the adsorbent should be improved in order to reaching the acceptable levels of adsorption efficiency. ...

1. Ions with the opposite sign of charge as that of a protein ion diminish the swelling, osmotic pressure, and viscosity of the protein. Ions with the same sign of charge as the protein ion (with the exception of H and OH ions) seem to have no effect on these properties as long as the concentrations of electrolytes used are not too high. 2. The relative depressing effect of different ions on th...

introduction: natural organic matters (noms) existing in water resources led to various problems such as formation of disinfectant by-products (dbps). humic matters like humic acid (ha) are component of noms that should be removed from water. advanced oxidation process (aops) is one of the noms removal methods. the aim of this study was to survey the degradation of humic acid by electron beam i...

Acids are either “strong” or “weak.” This relates to the amount of free hydrogen ions in the solution of a given concentration. Thus, nitric acid is a strong acid, since all of the nitric-acid molecules are dissociated into active hydrogen ions and nitrate ions. However, acetic acid is a weak acid. A solution of acetic acid of the same molar concentration as nitric acid would have a very differ...

in this research, a pvc membrane electrode for manganese (ii) ions based on n-(2-picolinamidoethyl)picolinamide as neutral carrier was prepared. the electrode exhibits a nemstian responseover mn(ii) concentration range of (1.0 x10-5 t01.0 x 10-1m) with a slope of 29.3±0.5 mv perdecade of concentration with a working ph range of 4.0-9.0. it has a fast response time (

In this work, two clay-based composites are prepared for the adsorptive removal of the chloride ions from aqueous solutions. These composites are characterized through Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The effects of different parameters such as the contact time, amount of adsorbent, chlo...
