the objective of this study is synthesis and characterization of the chitosan-silica composite (csc) and use them as an adsorbent material for peat water treatment. the resulting composite was characterizedby fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (sem), x-ray diffraction(xrd), n2 adsorption-desorption isotherm and zeta potential. the sorption experiments w...

in this study, bimodal meso-porous silica (uvm-7) synthesized and fabricated amino silane modified supports were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), n2 adsorption/desorption, transmission electron microscope (tem), elemental analysis and titration. capacity of co2 capture on modified bimodal pore structure silica at 70°c was calculated using breakthrough curves; and it was found th...

Removal of Methylene Blue (MB) and Crystal Violet (CV) dyes from monocomponent and binary aqueous solutions by water hyacinth-E. Crassipes roots fixed on alginate (a low-cost adsorbent) has been investigated. The extent of adsorption was evaluated as a function of solution pH, initial dye concentration, and bead biomass loading. Kinetic sorption data were analysed by widely used models: pseudo-...

expanded graphite nanosheets (eg-nanosheets) were used for adsorption of malachite green (mg) from aqueous solution. the influences of dye concentrations, absorbent dosage, ph values and the temperatures on the adsorption were investigated as well. the dye adsorption experiments were carried out by utilizing batch procedure. eg-nanosheets were initially characterized by scanning electron micros...

background and objectives: activated carbon is an adsorbent which is mostly employed in order to remove dye from aqueous solutions; however, commercial activated carbon is expensive and this is considered as an obstacle for its usage. therefore, the present study aimed to use waste paper as an inexpensive precursor to produce activated carbon. materials and methods: in the present study, koh wa...

   Surfaces of synthesis cobalt disulfide has high electron density that could interact with polycyclic aromatic compounds by π-π stacking. Cobalt disulfide was synthesized with the hydrothermal method and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray. Using tetracycline as a model analyte, the batch adsorption experiments were c...

the kinetic of photo oxidative decolorization of c.i. acid yellow 23 (ay23) was investigated in uv/ process. the semi-logarithmic of the concentrations of ay23 versus irradiation time were linear, suggesting pseudo-first order reaction. a simple kinetic model is proposed which confirms pseudo- first order reaction. the results indicate that the apparent reaction rate constant is a function of l...

The sorption of two dyes, namely, Basic BIue 69 and Acid Bhre 25 onto peat has been studied in terms of pseudo-second order and first order mechanisms for chemical sorption as vrell as an intraparticle diffusion mechani!jm process. The batch sorption process, based on the assumption of a pseudo-second order mechanism, has been developed to predict the rite constant of sorption. the equ~lib~um c...
