in this study chitosan hydrogel beads with porosity ~ 0.86 and diameter ~ 20.07 mm were prepared from 85 % deacetylated chitosan for removal of cd2+ ions from aqueous solutions.  chitosan powder was dissolved into dilute acetic acid as solvent and formed into spherical beads using a phase inversion technique. the effect of temperature, initial concentration of cd2+ ions, and the period of agita...

The present study was carried out to investigate the potential of carboxylate group functionalized Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT−COOH) adsorbent for the removal of Methyl orange (MO) textile dye from aqueous solutions. The effects of pH, shaking time and temperature on adsorption capacity were studied; the contact time to obtain equilibrium at 298 ˚K was fixed at 25 min. The effect of te...

Hydrothermal synthesis of nickel-chitosan hybrid  has  been accomplished using Ni(CH3COO)2,4H2O, chitosan and water as starting material, template and solvent respectively, followed by calcination at 800 and 900˚C to provide nanoporous NiO800  and NiO900. The solid products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Four...

In this research, the removal of Reactive Red 198 dye (RR-198) by Cuttlefish bone powder was investigated. The adsorbent was prepared in laboratory conditions and ground by ASTM standard sieves (60-100 mesh). The progress of the process is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of dye at 518 nm wavelength. In addition, the effects of process parameter...

Copper vanadate nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple coprecipitation method in an aqueous medium and the products were used as adsorbents for eliminating methylene blue (MB) from water. The structure and morphology of the produced nanoparticles were evaluated through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analysis. The results...

In this study, removal of Acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate MCM-41 modified by Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) composite was studied. Properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by SEM, EDX and FTIR. Results show that Langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. Kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order m...

The extraction of gold involves using cyanide which has the potential to impact the environment. Many studies have been done to reduce the environmental effects of cyanide. In this research, the cyanide adsorption on zeolite from gold processing plant tailing dam wastewater was investigated. Results indicated that the pH of the solution, contact time duration, temperature, zeolite amo...

In this research, SBA-15/Polypyrrole (SBA-15/PPy) mesoporous nanocomposite was synthesized, characterized and applied for Acid Blue 62 (AB62) adsorption as a textile dye from aqueous solution. In order to evaluate the structural properties of synthesized adsorbent, FT-IR, FESEM and TEM images, XRD, and BET techniques were applied. Some parameters such as pH, dosage, and time which affect the ba...

An adsorbent Modified Biochar (MB) made from sewage sludge was characterized with FT-IR spectra and SEM image. The effects of contact time, solution temperature, pH and initial concentration on the adsorption performance Pb(II) onto MB was investigated in a batch adsorption experiment. Results showed that MB had great adsorption capacity, due to the existence of hydroxyl, carboxyl, ether, alcoh...
