Artificial neural network (ANN), pseudo second-order kinetic, and gene expression programming (GEP) models were constructed to predict removal efficiency of Lanaset Red G (LR G) using lentil straw (LS) based on 1152 experimental sets. The sorption process was dependent on adsorbent particle size, pH, initial dye concentration, and contact time. These variables were used as input to construct a ...

Rotaviruses are the leading cause and coronaviruses are the major contributors of acute gastroenteritis in the young of various mammalian and avian species. Despite numerous trials and decades of research, vaccines have limited efficacy particularly for calves. As an alternative method of controlling infection, we have investigated broad spectrum antiviral agents that are not discriminatory amo...

Anthracite was used as an adsorbent to remove excess phosphate from wastewater. Anthracite used in the present study is environmentally friendly and of cost effective. The adsorption study was carried out using different particle size of adsorbents, different concentration of phosphate solution ranging from 25.0 mg/L to 100.0 mg/L, different pH values ranging from 0.5 to 11.5 along with differe...

The high cost of commercial active carbon has motivated the study of new adsorbents materials with the aim to reduce costs of the residuary waters treatment by means of adsorption process. Among then, the pyrolyzed oil shale has demonstrated adsorbents characteristic and has been studied as adsorbent material for organic and inorganic pollutants. In oil refineries, before deciding for the impla...

Batch sorption experiments were carried out to remove As(III) from aqueous solution by using iron based commercial adsorbent Bayoxide. The effects of various experimental parameters, such as initial concentration, contact time and solution pH on the adsorption of As(III) on adsorbent was investigated. The adsorption density increased with increased initial arsenic concentration and contact time...

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-oxime-nano Fe2O3 was used as an adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from water. The influences of contact time, initial fluoride concentration, and adsorbent dosage were investigated by batch equilibrium studies. The rate of adsorption was rapid with equilibrium being attained after 100min. The Langmuir isotherm model was found to represent the measured adsorption data...

The present study focuses on the use of Corn cob as an effective and efficient adsorbent for the removal of Ni (II) from aqueous solution. The influence of Physico-chemical parameters such as Adsorbent Dosage, Contact time, pH and Initial concentration has been examined in Batch studies. The initial and residual concentration of Ni (II) was analyzed using UVDouble Beam absorption spectrophotome...

The study demonstrates two approaches in formulation of solid oral lipid-based diazepam preparations (BCS class II drug). The aim of the study was to formulate tablets and hard capsules, using emulsifier and adsorbent. Lipidbased preparations improve drug solubility and permeability, i. e. bioavailability. Solid silicate carriers are able to adsorb liquid lipid formulations, resulting in freely...

The presence of elevated concentration of arsenic in water sources is considered to be health hazard globally. Calcination process is known to change the surface efficacy of the adsorbent. In current study, five adsorbent composites: uncalcined and calcined Fe3O4-HBC prepared at different temperatures (400°C and 1000°C) and environment (air and nitrogen) were investigated for the adsorptive rem...

The Cowan I strain of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus has been used as an adsorbent for antibodies complexed with radiolabeled antigens from cell lysates. This application is advanced as a superior alternative to other methods of immune precipitation for the isolation of antigens. It exploits the high adsorption capacity for IgG molecules by protein A molecules on the cell walls of certain ...
