the use of orange peel as low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dyes from wastewater. this paper concerns with the removal of blue 56 from aqueous solutions by orange peel. the effects of ph , initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, and particle size of adsorbent, temperature and also isotherm data analys...

A simple isotherm model has been developed for the type-5 equilibrium adsorption systems by considering the effects of both primary and secondary adsorptive sites. The model was applied to interpret experimental data describing water vapor adsorption capacities of four activated carbon adsorbents for relative vapor pressures from 0.0 to 0.95 and temperatures between 288 and 308 K. Good agreemen...

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...

batch experiments were conducted to study the adsorption behaviors of lead ion (pb2+) onto ferrihydrites prepared using three different procedures which were characterized  by textural analysis (bet). the adsorption removal of pb2+ by the three ferrihydrites (called fh-1, fh-2 and fh-3, respectively) were compared, and fh-3 shows fast adsorption kinetics as well as high adsorption capacities, t...

The suitability of the X-ray microtomographic technique to study the dynamics of vapor adsorption on carbon beds was assessed in this work. This technique was tested using three different systems: CH3I, water vapor and a mixture of waterand organic vapors. Image analysis of the carbon bed cross-sections obtained by X-ray microtomography allows determining the adsorption front progress in the ca...

Chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu) are heavy metals known for their dangerous effect towards human health and could enter into human body mainly through ingestion. Over the years, different treatment methods have been used to eliminate heavy metal from raw water source and these include (co)precipitation, coagulation/flocculation, adsorption and ion- exchange. Nonetheless, adsorption is the most pro...

ordered mesoporous carbon cmk-3 (omc) have been synthesized using mesoporous sba-15 silica as template and modified with cobalt carbonate. morphologies and surface texturing of materials werecharacterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and n2 adsorption-desorptionisotherms. the cobalt modified ordered mesoporous carbon were found to have a surface area of 490.06m...
