Abstract:

In this paper, Taguchi method was applied to determine the optimum conditions for Zn (II) removal from aqueous solution by halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). An orthogonal array experimental design (L16 (45) which is of five control factors including pH, t (contact time), m (adsorbent mass), T (temperature) and C0 (initial concentration of Zn (II)) having four levels was employed. Adsorption capacity (mg/g) and removal percent (%) were investigated as the quality characteristics to be optimized. In order to determine the optimum levels of the control factors precisely, range analysis and analysis of variance were performed. For removal percent, the optimum condition was found to be pH=6, T=35°C, w=0.4 g, and C0=50 mg/L. Under these optimum conditions, adsorption capacity and removal percent can reach to 132.16 mg/g and 99.76%, respectively.

Adsorption Equilibrium and Kinetics of Lead Ion onto Synthetic Ferrihydrites

Batch experiments were conducted to study the adsorption behaviors of lead ion (Pb2+) onto ferrihydrites prepared using three different procedures which were characterized  by textural analysis (BET). The adsorption removal of Pb2+ by the three ferrihydrites (called FH-1, FH-2 and FH-3, respectively) were compared, and FH-3 shows fast adsorption kinetics as well as hig...

Thermodynamic study of lead ion removal by adsorption onto nanographene sheets

A batch adsorption study was applied to investigate the adsorption of Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutionby nanographene (nG).The adsorption percentage of Pb2+ions onto nG samples at different initial pH,contact time (tc), adsorbent dosage (mnG) and temperature (T) were investigated. The results showedthat nG is an excellent adsorbent for Pb2+ions removal from aqueous solutions with an adsorptionpe...

Thermodynamic Study of Hg(II) Ion Adsorption onto Nano Hydroxyapatite from Aqueous Solution

Hydroxyapatite nanocrystals were synthesized by sol-gel combustion method for the sorption ofHg(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The effects of varying parameters such as pH, temperature, initialmetal concentration, and contact time on the adsorption process were examined. Adsorptionequilibrium was established in 360 minutes and the maximum adsorption of Hg(II) on thehydroxyapatite was observed...
