In this study, cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS NPs) were prepared, characterized and used as a new adsorbent for simultaneous removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Using a batch adsorption method, the effects of solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and temperature were studied and optimized. Removal efficiencies, higher than 98% were obtained for both the met...

In this research, Activated Carbon (AC) was modified using a sodium hydroxide solution for CO2 adsorption. Adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch reactor at a temperature range of 20-80°C and a pressure range of 2-10 bars to investigate kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic of the CO2 adsorption process. Activated carbon was modified with NaOH solution conce...

Zeolitic tuffs are found in different parts of the world. Iranian zeolite is a low-cost material that can be frequently found in nature. Surfactant-modified zeolite (SMZ) can be used for the adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption study was conducted to evaluate the adsorption capacity of SMZ; furthermore, the effects of contact time, initial pH, and th...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the adsorption of uranium (VI) ions on the polypyrrole adsorbent. Polypyrrole was synthesized by a chemical method using polyethylene glycol, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as the surfactant and iron (III) chloride as an oxidant in the aqueous solution. The effect of various surfactants on the synthesized polymers ...

The objective of this work is investigation of the adsorption and decomposition of Reactive Blue 19 from industrial wastewaters using laccase enzyme immobilized on activated carbon powder and fiber as adsorbent. Time, pH, temperature, stirring rate, the amount of the adsorbent, dye initial concentration, solution flow rate in the column and column height were studied as key operating parame...

conclusions considering the simplicity and efficiency of zero valent iron powder, this method is recommended for removing azo dyes from aqueous environments. results the results of this research showed ph = 3 and contact time = 120 minutes, increasing the zvi dose from 200 to 5000 mg/l in 100 mg/l dye concentration, increased the adsorption efficiency from 36.78% to 97.57%. rr-198 removal follo...

methyl orange is one dye resulted from the textile industry. the aim of this study is to test theadsorption capacity of nickel oxide nanoparticles for removing the methyl orange from aqueoussolution. the parameters studied were the effect of temperature, contact time and initial ph ofsolution. results indicate that the removal efficiency of nickel oxide nanoparticles increases withincreasing co...

background and aims: from the past studies, it has been proved that consumption of heavy metals by humans may cause several chronicle problems like cancer, kidney and liver damage, high blood pressure and low blood pressure problems and etc. so, it has become very crucial to remove these heavy metals from industrial wastewater. the aim of this study was to find out a low cost and easy available...

toxicity has occurred in workers exposed to nickel dust or nickel carbonyl formed in refining. increased risk of nasal and lung cancers was linked to occupational nickel exposure before current workplace safety standards were set. activated carbon with nano holes used for removing contaminants in environment. the purpose of this work is preparation a new nano-absorber, gz-baki-tac-ni-88, for th...

background: the presence of lead in natural waters has become an important issue around the world. lead has been identified as a highly toxic metal that can cause severe environmental and public health problems and its decontamination is of utmost importance. the aim of this work was to evaluate the adsorption of lead (pb(ii)) on waste tea leaves as a cheap purification method. methods: in this...
