In this research, adsorption experiments were carried out for removal of Basic Blue 41(BB41) dye from an aqueous solution, using coconut fiber particles (CFP) as a low-cost biosorbent. The characteristics of coconut fiber particles weredeterminedwith a scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. The effects of initial pH, biosorbentdose, contact time,...

Three isotherm models were used to describe adsorption equilibrium of a toxic chemical compound, phenol, onto a non porous adsorbent (Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica fibres) and a porous adsorbent, activated carbon prepared from Caribbean Vetiveria zizanoides roots. The adsorption characteristic parameters obtained were calculated using classical adsorption isotherm, i.e. the Langmuir (LI), Fr...

In this study , Copper oxide as a good and inexpensive adsorbent has been introduced and used for the removal of erythrosine and red carmoisine dyes from several water solutions successfully. The effect of various parameters such as pH, dye concentration, amount of adsorbent, contact time and temperature on removal processing was investigated. Adsorption isothermal data could be interpreted by ...

Biochar converted from agricultural residues or other carbon-rich wastes may provide new methods and materials for environmental management, particularly with respect to carbon sequestration and contaminant remediation. In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution by biochar derived from anaerobically digested sugar beet tail...

The sorption behavior of loofa-immobilized Phanerochaete chrysosporium mycelia in two forms, Live (L) and Heat-Inactivated (HIA), was studied for the removal of Hg2+ ions from aqueous solution. Using the Langmuir isotherm, the two key parameters for the sorption performance, qm and the coefficient b, were obtained; the qm ...

Abstract Carbon sequestration in unmineable coal seams has been proposed as one of the most attractive technologies to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions which CO is stored microporous structure matrix an adsorbed state. The adsorption process hence considered more effective methodologies environmental sciences. Thus, isotherm measurements and modelling are key important scientific measu...

adsorption and water treatment of ca (ii) and mg (ii) hardness were investigated via adsorption of metal ions onto commercial polyacrylic acid hydrogel beads as a novel sorbent for metal ions (ca2+, mg2+) removal and water treatment. batch equilibrium technique was carried out under the influence of solution ph, contact time, sorbent dosage, initial metal concentration and competitive study. th...

The adsorption studies of phenol from aqueous solution on allium sativum peel have been studied in the range of 50-250 mg/L initial phenol concentration .The study was carried out as function of contact time, pH, initial phenol concentration,allium sativum Linn peel dosage and temperature. The experiment demonstrated the maximum phenol was obtained at in pH of 2 and it takes 6h to attain equili...

Synthetic dyes are extensively used in many industrial applications like textile, leather and cosmetics. The release of various harmful dyes from these industries into the environment has attracted great attention worldwide in recent years. Biosorption is a very effective dye removal technique from aqueous system. In this research, the biosorption performance of cone of red pine for C.I. Basic ...
