This paper presents the feasibility of the removal of asphaltenes from aqueous solutions by using low- cost natural adsorbents such as light expanded clay aggregate (LECA), perlite and bentonite. The structure of adsorbents was characterized by XRD, FTIR, and SEM before and after the adsorption of asphaltenes. The effect of the adsorbent type, initial asphaltene concentration, particle size of ...

Synthetic dyes are among the most common contaminants of the environment. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of Basic Blue 41 (BB41) and Methylene Blue (MB) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. In this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with Citric Acid (CA) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for ...

the interaction between some heavy metal ions such as of pb(ii), cd(ii) and cu(ii) ions from aqueous solution adsorbed by single walled carbon nanotube (swcnts) and carboxylate group functionalized single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt-cooh) surfaces were studied by atomic absorption spectroscopy. the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of ion, ionic strength and temperature on the...

A biomass agricultural waste material, olive stone (OS) was used for preparation of activated carbon (AC) by chemical activation using 50% phosphoric acid (PA5) carbonized at 800C and holding time 90 min (OSPA58).The prepared AC was used for sorption of La(III) ions from nitrate solution.The effect of various factors such as shaking time, pH, carbon dose, particle size and different temperature...

Composite chitosan-magnetite microparticles (Fe-Cc) were evaluated as a new adsorbent for cobalt and nickel ion separation from aqueous solutions. Sorption batch experiments were conducted for optimizing the pH, initial target ion concentration and adsorbent amount. The experimental data were fitted using Langmuir, Freundlich, and respectively DubininRadushkevich isotherm models. The Langmuir m...

in this study, the removal of as (v) from water resources by using aluminum-coated pumice as a new adsorbent was assessed. the features of the adsorbent coating layer were observed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).the effects of various parameters such as adsorbent doses, ph, contact time, arsenate initial concentration and interfering ions in arsenic adsorpt...

In this work, the adsorption of the anionic dye, Congo red (CR), from aqueous solution by using tea waste (TW) has been carried out at 30 °C. The equilibrium sorption isotherms and kinetics were investigated. The equilibrium adsorption was studied by the Langmuir and Freundlich models of adsorption. The experimental results manifested that the Langmuir isotherm was the best model for the adsorp...

The present investigation was carried out about the corrosion inhibition and adsorption behavior of Neem and Hibiscus, as a green inhibitor of Zinc corrosion in acidic mediated of corrosion causing soil microbes by using weight loss and thermodynamic studies. Even analyze the quantitatively and qualitatively biochemical substances present in Neem and Hibiscus leaves of aqueous and ethanol extra...

In this study, adsorption of copper from aqueous solutions was investigated using mangrove biomass from the Kenyan Coast. The efficacy of mangrove biomass on the removal of copper (II) ions from aqueous solutions was investigated in single state in batch mode with respect to effects of initial pH, temperature, initial concentration of the metal ion, adsorbent dosage and contact time on metal io...
