REMOVAL OF p-NITROPHENOL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS USING AMINOPROPYL SILICA GEL-IMMOBILIZED CALIX[4]ARENE POLYMER (C[4]APS)

Synthesis and Application of Iron Oxide/Silica Gel Nanocomposite for Removal of Sulfur Dyes from Aqueous Solutions

Background & Aims of the Study: water pollution by synthetic organic dyes is mainly regarded as environmental and ecological critical issues worldwide. In this research, magnetite iron oxide/silica gel nanocomposite (termed as Fe3O4/SG) was synthesized chemically and then used as an effective adsorbent for removal of sulfur dyes from aqueous solution. Materials and Method...

Removal of Congo red from aqueous solutions using nano-Chitosan

It is now recognized that adsorption using low-cost adsorbents is an effective and economic method for water decontamination. Chitosan is derived by deacetylation of the naturally occurring biopolymer chitin which is the second most abundant polysaccharide in the world after cellulose. In this study, the capacity of the chitosan nanoparticles was studied for the removal of the anionic Congo red...

Removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions using modified clay

Introduction: Discharging of industrial colored wastewaters especially into aqueous environments can cause adverse effects on aquatic life due to their toxic natures. In this study, montmorillonite modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HDTMA-Mt) was used for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB). Materials and Methods: The influence of surfactant loading rate, contact time, pH, adso...

Removal of bromocresol green from aqueous solutions using chitin nanofibers

Removal of Chromium from Chromium(VI) Solutions by Adsorption and Reduction Using Immobilized Persimmon Gel

The removal of chromium(VI) from an aqueous solution using persimmon gel was examined. The amount of chromium(VI) removed was strongly affected by the pH of the solution, with all chromium(VI) being removed at pH 2 or lower. However, in a solution containing, 15 mg dry weight of immobilized persimmon gel, the amount of removed chromium(VI) decreased as the pH increased. A part of chromium(VI) w...
