In this work the kinetic data demanded for kinetic modeling were obtained in temperatures 350, 400, 450 and 500 oC by conducting experimentations on a Fe-Cr nanocatalyst prepared from a novel method and a commercial Fe-Cr-Cu one. The collected data were subjected to kinetic modeling by using two models derived from redox and associative mechanisms as well as an empirical one. The coefficients o...

In this study, montmorillonite clay was used as the adsorbent for the removal of Aniline Blue dye, from aqueous solution by the batch adsorption technique under different conditions. The maximum removal of aniline blue dye for initial dye concentration 20 mg/L was more than 95% at optimum conditions (pH=4.5, contact time=30 min, and adsorbent dosage=2 g/L). The data of this study were fitted wi...

The potential of water hyacinth ash for phenol adsorption from aqueous solution was studied. Batch kinetic and isotherm studies were carried out under varying experimental conditions of contact time, phenol concentration, adsorbent dosage and pH. The adsorption of phenol decreased with increasing pH. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models were used for the mathematical description of ads...

classical xerogels are robust, inexpensive and nontoxic materials with low-ordered nanoporous structures. in water streams where the ph is higher than the point of zero charge, the surface of classical xerogels such as tetraethoxy orthosilan (teos) xerogel is negatively charged. it was assumed that a xerogel can work as a strong adsorbent for metal ions without further modification. therefore, ...

the modified surface of typha latifolia l. root (mstl), as an alternative economical adsorbent, wasused for the removal of ni (ii) and cd(ii) ions from aqueous solutions. the effect of initial ph, initialconcentration of metal ion, and contact time was investigated in a batch system at room temperature.the kinetics data could be fitted well by pseudo-second-order model with correlation coeffici...

Ginger waste material (GWM) has been utilized as adsorbent for removal of hazardousPatent Blue VF (PBVF) dye from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption experiments wereperformed as a function of pH, contact time, dye concentration, adsorbent dose and temperature.The optimum pH required for the maximum adsorption was found to be 2. The experimentalequilibrium adsorption data were tested using Langm...

The objective of this study was to assess the adsorption potential of activated carbon (AC) asan adsorbent for the removal of Murexide (Mu) from aqueous solutions. The influence of variablesparameters including pH, amount of adsorbent, sieve size of adsorbent, temperature and contact timeon Mu removal was studied. Following optimization of variables, the relation between concentrations ofdye re...

The contribution of variable grain sizes to uranium adsorption/desorption was studied using a sediment from the US DOE Hanford site. The sediment was wet sieved into four size fractions: coarse sand (1-2 mm), medium sand (0.2-1 mm), fine sand (0.053-0.2 mm), and clay/silt fraction (<0.053 mm). For each size fraction and their composite (sediment), batch and flow-cell experiments were performed ...

An agricultural waste i.e. rice husk has been used as a cheap adsorbent for the removal ofleadas a harmful heavy metal from contaminated water via adsorption. The adsorption capacity of rice husk was calculated by equilibrium models. The results showed that the adsorption process has the best accordance with Langmuir model. The kinetics of the adsorption was also investigated and obtained that ...
