This paper presents the feasibility of removal of basic dye Rhodamine-B from aqueous solutions by using a low cost natural adsorbent perlite. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of pH, contact time, initial concentration of the adsorbate, adsorbent dosage and temperature. Dye adsorption equilibrium was rapidly attained after 50 minutes of the contact time, and it was des...

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were modified with 3-Mercaptopropytrimethoxysiline (MPTMS) and grafted with allyl glycidyl ether for coupling with beta naphtol as a method to form a novel nano-adsorbent to remove two poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from contaminated water. The modified MNPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analy...

The usage of wastes of bagasse would be admirable from environmental and solid waste management point of view. Thus, herein, this data set present a facile method for providing an adsorbent from mixture of bagasse-bentonite. The prepared adsorbent was applied to remove Pb2+ from aqueous solution. It was conducted in laboratory scale using completely randomized design with variations in mixed ma...

This research work investigates the efficiency of H3PO4and KOH impregnated jackfruit leaf powder based carbon as adsorbent to remove Ni from wastewater. The removal characteristics of Nickel using both the adsorbents were investigated under various operating variables like contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial metal concentration, solution pH, temperature and stirring speed. The results showe...

Fe(3)O(4) coated polypyrrole (PPy) magnetic nanocomposite was prepared via in situ polymerization of pyrrole monomer for the removal of highly toxic Cr(VI). Structure and morphology of the prepared nanocomposite were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction pattern, Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) an...

Calcium alginate beads doped with hydrazine sulphate-treated red mud are investigated as adsorbent for extracting lead ions from water using batch methods of extraction. Different extraction conditions are optimised for maximum lead extraction. Substantial amount of lead is removed, and the adsorption ability is found to be 138.6 mg/g. Surface characterization using FTIR, EDX, and FESEM confirm...

The objective of this research was to seek a cost effective solution to prepare adsorbents for nitrogen oxide from surplus sludge. Leaf litter and powder coal ash were used as cheap and easily available additives. An adsorbent for nitrogen oxide was prepared by pyrolysis of dried sludge mixed with zinc chloride. Under optimum pyrolysis conditions of 375°C for 90 min and a zinc chloride content ...

Batch sorption experiments were carried out using jackfruit seed powder (JSP), for the removal of Methylene Blue (MB) from dyeing synthetic effluent waste water. Effects of process parameters pH, adsorbent mass, adsorbate concentration, contact time and temperature were studied. The adsorption process attains equilibrium within 60 minutes. The amount of MB adsorbed per unit mass of the adsorben...
