The thermodynamic and transport properties of diffusing species in microporous materials are strongly influenced by their interactions with the confining framework, which provide the energy landscape for the transport process. The simple topology and the cellular nature of the alpha cages of a ZK4 zeolite suggest that it is appropriate to apply to the study of the problem of diffusion in tight ...

Alginite has been evaluated as an efficient pollution control material. In this paper, alginite from maar Pinciná (SR) for removal of Cd ions from aqueous solution was studied. The potential sorbent was characterized by X-ray fluorescence analysis (RFA) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis (FT-IR) and specific surface area (SSA) was also determined. The sorption process was op...

For the first time we apply a new method based on the mathematical derivation of some known isotherm from the Burr function which describes many birth-death (sorption-desorption) phenomena in ecology and economy. Therefore, in this study the experimental isotherm data of biosorption of Pb(II) onto algae was modeled to Langmuir, Hill-Sips, Brouers-Sotolongo, BrouersGaspard, and Redlich-Peterson ...

present study dealt the removal of cr(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater using rice husk silica powder as an adsorbent.the experimental investigations have been carried out by using rice husk silica powder for different adsorption dosage, different contact time and different ph against the initial cr(vi) concentration of 292 mg/l. the maximum percentage removal of cr(vi) in the tannery indust...

conclusions the findings of this study showed that the modification of natural zeolites can achieve higher adsorption capacity for organics. in addition, based on the results, natural zeolite being modified with sds as a cationic surfactant had good efficiency for the adsorption of nom. results the results indicated that sds-modified zeolite showed greatly enhanced adsorption capacity. findings...

in this study, nano-tio2 was employed for the adsorption of chloroform from aqueous solution in batch equilibrium experiments to investigate its adsorption properties. the effects of ph, initial chloroform concentration and nano-tio2 dosage were also investigated. optimal conditions for chloroform removal by nano-tio2 have been then identified. results of equilibrium experiments showed that the...
