The entrance of Cd (II) to aqueous environments causes a major problem to human health. The current article examines the efficiency of TiO2 and γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles in Cd (II) removal from aqueous medium as influenced by different chemical factors, such as pH, initial concentration, background electrolyte, and ionic strength, in accordance with standard experimental methods. It conducts Batch ...

This study investigated the feasibility of Date-palm) Phoenix dactylifera (Leaf Ash (DLA) (an inexpensive agricultural-byproduct) as an application to adsorb Pb(II) ions. An adsorption process was carried out to evaluate initial concentration Pb(II) ions, adsorbent dose, contact time, pH and temperature on the systematic removal of Pb(II). The effects were examined and results showed that remov...

The efficiency of activated parthenium hysterophorous as an adsorbent for removing Pesticide mixture from water has been studied. Batch mode adsorption experiments have been conducted by varying pH, concentration, adsorbent dose and contact time. Pesticide removal was pH-dependent and found to be maximum at pH 2.0. The maximum removal of pesticides was achieved within 100 min after the start of...

The adsorption of methyl tert-butyl ether by granular activated carbon was investigated. The experimental data were analyzed using the Freundlich isotherm and the Langmuir isotherm. Although equilibrium data were found to follow Freundlich isotherm model, it were fitted better by the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 204.1 mg/g. The kinetic data obtained at different concentr...

An adsorbent Modified Biochar (MB) made from sewage sludge was characterized with FT-IR spectra and SEM image. The effects of contact time, solution temperature, pH and initial concentration on the adsorption performance Pb(II) onto MB was investigated in a batch adsorption experiment. Results showed that MB had great adsorption capacity, due to the existence of hydroxyl, carboxyl, ether, alcoh...

The optimization of adsorption-based operations requires an accurate model to represent the separation process. In the present study, single-component adsorption data of L-lysine on its imprinted polymer were fitted to Freundlich, Langmuir-type and Jovanovic-type models. L-Lysine imprinted polymer (LLIP) was prepared by free radical solution polymerization. The best estimate of the parameters o...

in this study, the potential of biosorbent obtained from silk maze, was investigated for the batch biosorption of direct red 81 (dr 81) in aqueous solution. the effects of temperature, biosorbent amount, contact time, initial dye concentration and ultrasonic irradiation were also evaluated. furthermore, experimental equilibrium and kinetics data were fitted by langmuir and freundlich isotherms ...

introduction: colored compounds which often are toxic and carcinogen is one of the environmental pollutants. these pollutants should be removed prior than discharge to the environment. the aim of this study was the evaluation of maize tassel powder efficiency for the removal of reactive red 198 dye from synthetic textile wastewater. materials & methods: this experimental study was performed in ...
