Attapulgite Based Composite Adsorbents for Adsorption Refrigeration

Adsorption characteristics of methylene blue onto the N-succinyl-chitosan-g- polyacrylamide/attapulgite composite

−N-succinyl-chitosan-g-polyacrylamide/attapulgite (NSC-g-PAM/APT) composite was applied as adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The initial pH value of the dye solutions, the contact temperature, the contact time and the concentration of the dye solutions on adsorption capacity of the composite for MB dye were investigated. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm...

Novel Silica-Based Hybrid Adsorbents: Lead(II) Adsorption Isotherms

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...

Adsorption Mechanism of Toxic Metal Ions by Clay (attapulgite)

A series of adsorption tests were conducted to analyze the sorption capacity of attapulgite. Ions such as cobalt, nickel, lead and cadmium were adsorbed from waste solutions onto attapulgite surface. Adsorption depletion tests were performed as a function of solid to liquid ratio, conditioning time, heavy metal ion concentration, and pH to identify the mode and extent of interactions in the sys...

Novel chitosan-cellulose hydrogel adsorbents for lead adsorption

In this study, we examined the properties of chitosan-cellulose hydrogel beads as an adsorbent and its application for lead ion adsorption. Chitosan was blended with cellulose to improve the mechanical strength of chitosan hydrogel beads and the chitosan-cellulose hydrogel beads were cross-linked with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) to enhance their acid-resistant ability. Scanning elec...
