By combining experimental adsorption isotherms, microcalorimetric data, infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations the adsorption behaviour of the CPO-27/MOF-74 series (Ni, Co, Mg, Cu, and Zn) in the desulfurization of fuels is evaluated. The results show a clear influence of the metal ion on the adsorption capacity and affinity for S-heterocyclic compounds, with CPO-27(Ni) being t...

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 high adsorption capacities, t...

We examined the natural organic matter (NOM) adsorption characteristics of super-powdered activated carbon (S-PAC) produced by pulverizing commercially available, normal PAC to a submicron particle size range. The adsorption capacities of S-PAC for NOM and polystyrene sulfonates (PSS) with molecular weights (MWs) of 1.1, 1.8, and 4.6 kDa, which we used as model compounds, were considerably high...

adsorption of p-nitrophenol by three different activated carbons (f100, s.e.i. and b.d.h.) was carried out at 301 k and at controlled ph conditions. two different adsorption models (langmuir model and freundlich model) were studied and compared. the adsorption capacity of the carbons depends on the point of zero charge (pzc) and surface area of the carbons. adsorption of the solute at higher ph...

This paper reports the evaluation of adsorbing Cr (VI) ions on sorbent prepared from chitosan (CHT), a versatile derivative of chitin, and dodecyl amine modified locally available kaolinite clay (Bijoypur clay) (MC) that has excellent mechanical properties and great resistance to chemical and biological attack. The effect of the initial metal ion concentration, solution pH, contact time, and ad...

The adsorption potential of the Perlin clay for the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions was tested. The adsorption amount measured at the different temperature (25°C, 45°C and 65°C) and Ph (2, 3 and 5). A high adsorption capacity aws calculated. An increase in the retention capacity with increasing temperature was measured. The influence of pH in the acidic range was investigated. The m...

Adsorption characteristics of potentially toxic metals in single- and multi-metal forms onto ferronickel slag were evaluated. Competitive sorption of metals by ferronickel slag has never been reported previously. The maximum adsorption capacities of toxic metals on ferronickel were in the order of Cd (10.2 mg g(-1)) > Cu (8.4 mg g(-1)) > Zn (4.4 mg g(-1)) in the single-metal adsorption isotherm...

The aim of this study is to investigate the nitrate adsorption on granular ferric hydroxide (GFH). The effect of factors such as initial concentration of nitrate, pH, contact time, and adsorbent mass were determined. The study was done in laboratory–scale in which synthetic nitrate solutions in a batch reactor were placed in contact with the adsorbent to model adsorption kinetics. It was found ...
