The aim of this paper is to investigate the removal of toluene from gaseous solution through Glycyrrhiza glabra root (GGR) as a waste material. The batch adsorption experiments were conducted at various conditions including contact time, adsorbate concentration, humidity, and temperature. The adsorption capacity was increased by raising the sorbent humidity up to 50 percent. The adsorption of t...

The ability of Clinoptilolite powder to adsorb Ni (II) ions from wastewater which was taken from a nickel plating factory was investigated through batch experiments. The Ni (II) adsorption was found to be dependent on mass of adsorbent, contact time, pH value of solution and the speed of agitation. The experimental isotherms data were fitted into Langmuir and Freundlich models. The monolayer ad...

The adsorption of malonic acid on the rice bran was studied under various conditions such as temperature, contact time, adsorbent dose and concentration of adsorbate. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted and the result showed that the adsorption was dependent on all these parameters. The adsorption process obeys the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The adsorption capacity wa...

An evaluation of the chromium(VI) adsorption capacity of four magnetite sorbents coated with a polymer phase containing polymethacrylic acid or polyallyl-3-methylimidazolium is presented. Factors that influence the chromium(VI) removal such as solution pH and contact time were investigated in batch experiments and in stirred tank reactor mode. Affinity and rate constants increased with the mola...

In this work the feasibility of employing calcareous soil to remove lead (II) ions from its aqueous solutions was investigated under batch mode. The influence of solution pH, sorbent dose, initial lead (II) concentration, contact time, stirring rate and temperature on the removal process were investigated. The lead adsorption was favored with maximum adsorption at pH 6.0. Sorption equilibrium t...

Removal of cesium from synthetic aqueous solution through adsorption on bentonite, under batch equilibrium experimental condition at different values of pH and four temperatures (303, 313, 323, 333 K) was investigated. For this propose the suitability of the Freundlich adsorption model for equilibrium data were investigated. The parameters in the adopted adsorption isotherm models were determin...

The main objective of this study was to understand the key factors and mechanisms controlling adsorption of sulfonamides to biochars. Batch adsorption experiments were performed for sulfamethoxazole and sulfapyridine to three pine-wood biochars prepared under different thermochemical conditions: pyrolysis at 400 °C (C400) and 500 °C (C500), and pyrolysis at 500 °C followed with hydrogenation (C...

This paper investigates the potential of nano zero valent iron impregnated cashew nut shell nanoparticles (NZVI-CNS) as an effective adsorbent for the removal of phenol from aqueous solution. The effect of initial pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature were determined by batch adsorption experiments. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were applied to the adsorption e...

The present study investigates the retention mechanisms of cesium and strontium for alkali-activated cements. Retention mechanisms such as adsorption and precipitation were examined in light of chemical interactions. Batch adsorption experiments and multi-technical characterizations by using X-ray diffraction, zeta potential measurements, and the N₂ gas adsorption/desorption methods were conduc...

Immobilization of Chetoceros sp microalgae with silica as supporting matrix has been carried out through encapsulation technique with using solution of Na2SiO3 sol. Identification of functional groups and surface morphology from adsorbent obtained was performed with utilizing infrared spectrophotometer (IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Adsorption process of Pb(II) ion on adsorbent wa...
