introduction: arsenic is known as a carcinogenic compound in drinking water . it can cause acute and chronic effects on human health. in this study, the effect of polyamidoamine dendrimer generation 3(pamam g3) as adsorbents for removal of arsenic (v) from aqueous solutions was evaluated.     methods: adsorption experiment was studied in batch system and the effect of different variables like p...

the aim of the present work was to investigate the ability of cocopeat to remove of lead (ii) from aqueous solutions. the effects of different parameters such as particle size, adsorbent dosage, ph, contact time, agitation speed and concentration on the removal process has been investigated. the maximum removal of lead ion (92.5%) took place in the ph range of 4 contact time in 30 minutes and i...

Introduction: Discharge of textile wastewater causes the reduction of sunlight penetration, interferes with the receiving waters ecology and damage the environment. The aim of this study was to determine the removal efficiency of reactive blue 19 dye from aqueous solutions by cuttlefish bone powder. Materials & Methods: This study was performed experimentally and in laboratory scale. In thi...

In this study, extraction of tannic acid using microchannel was investigated. Affective parameters were optimized. Different solvents including buthanol, ethylacetate and n-hexane as organic phase, methanol, propanol, ethanol and water as aqueous phase investigated. Microchannels with different confluence angles and diameters were examined. Microchannels with different confluence angles and dia...

In this study, removal of methylene blue by electro-coagulation method using aluminum and iron electrodes was investigated. The influence of the operating parameters such as contact time, current density, anode type, inter-electrodes distance, initial and final pH and energy consumption rate was determined. Dye removal was increased with increases in solution pH, current density and c...

background and purpose:organic dyes with a complex structure are often toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, non-biodegradation and stable in the environment and if released to the environment without treatment can endanger the environment and human health. the aim was to evaluate the performance nanoscalezero-valent iron (nzvi) in the removal of dye acid red 18 (ar18) from aqueous solutions. materia...

in the present study, different activated carbons were prepared from carbonized african beech wood sawdust by potassium hydroxide activation. the activated carbons were characterized by brunauer–emmett–teller, scanning electron microscope, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analyzer. the phenol adsorption capacity of the prepared carbons was evaluated. the different ...

the color removal of three reactive dyes in an aquatic system without priortreatment was studied. selected commercial dyes were treated with nac102 anduv as oxidation agents. effects of nature of oxidant, temperature, ph ofsolutions, concentration of c107—, contact time of c102— and uv irradiation wereinvestigated. optimal c102— concentration for color removal in the absence of uvirradiation wa...
