Competitive adsorption of metal ions onto goethite–humic acid-modified kaolinite clay

Adsorption characterizations of fulvic acid fractions onto kaolinite.

Fulvic acids extracted from a typical rice-production region near Taihu Lake of China were fractionated into three fractions including F4.8, F7.0 and F11.0 (eluted by pH 4.8 buffer, pH 7.0 buffer and pH 11.0 buffer, respectively). Sorption of fulvic acid (FA) fractions onto kaolinite was studied by batch adsorption experiments, and characterizations of kaolinite before and after adsorption were...

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...

Kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of the adsorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions on tripolyphosphate-modified kaolinite clay

Adsorption of copper ions onto microwave stabilized heavy metal sludge.

Microwave stabilized heavy metal sludge was used as an adsorbent to remove the copper ions from aqueous solution. The adsorption characteristics of copper on the stabilized-sludge were studied by various models, such as Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equation. Results show that the pH(zpc) of stabilized-sludge was at 9.2-9.5. Moreover, the adsorption of copper ions onto the stabilized-sludge ...

Studies on the Adsorption of p-Aminoazobenzene onto Kaolinite

As one of the most important soil components, kaolinite plays an important role in transport and fixation of organic pollutants in soils. P-Aminoazobenzene (PAAB) is a sort of the carcinogenic aromatic amine which is commonly used as the intermediates of azo dyes. It can cause mutations and cancer of aquatic biota as well as humans. In this study, adsorption of PAAB on kaolinite in aqueous solu...
