THE REMOVAL OF Pb(I1) FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS USING A RETICULATED VITREOUS CARBON CATHODE CELL-THE INFLUENCE OF THE ELECTROLYTE MEDIUM*
نویسنده
چکیده
The removal of Pb(I1) ions from aqueous solutions of perchlorate, nitrate, tetrafluoroborate, chloride and sulfate, pH 2, has been investigated in a cell with a reticulated vitreous carbon cathode. It is confirmed that the Pb(II) may always be removed. There are, however, marked differences in the conditions necessary and the performance attained by the system (eg, rate of removal, current efficiency), even with these nominally similar, aqueous acid media. The origin of these differences are investigated.

The mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) functionalized with ethylenediamine (EDA) has been synthesized (CMK-3-EDA) and applied as a new mesoporous adsorbent for removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) cations from aqueous solutions. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements (BET) show that surface area, pore size and pore volume of CMK-3 were significantly changed after amine modification. The BET surface area an...
متن کاملRemoval of Congo red dye from aqueous solutions by a low-cost adsorbent: activated carbon prepared from Aloe vera leaves shell
Background: Synthetic dyes have several harmful effects on human health as well as aquatic life. In this study, activated carbon (AV-AC), based on Aloe vera leaf shells, was used as a novel agricultural adsorbent, one that is low-cost and available for the removal of Congo red (CR) as a carcinogenic dye from aqueous solutions. Methods: In the batch system, the influence of different paramete...

Background and purpose: Textile effluents are very difficult to treat satisfactorily due to high variations in their compositions. Strong color is one of the main characteristics of textile effluent and, if not eliminated, it can cause serious problems to the environment. In the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as an adsorbent for the removal of Reactive Red-120 (...
