The adsorption of hexavalent chromium on Kaolinite and Illite was studied in order to evaluate their potential for the reduction of hexavalent chromium mobility and their possible application for the treatment of polluted sediment. The influence of various parameters affecting the adsorption of hexavalent chromium, such as the pH of aqueous solution, the ionic strength and the initial metal ion...

Activated carbon prepared from neem oilcake, by pyrolysis accompanied with microwave oven activation is evaluated for the adsorption of Cd(II) and Ni(II) from wastewater. Parameters such as pH, agitation time, metal ion concentration and adsorbent dose are studied. The percent removal increased with pH from 2.0 to 7.0. The adsorption data fit well with Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm m...

Binding kinetics of the multivalent proteins peanut agglutinin (PnA) and cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) to a GM1-doped 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) lipid bilayer were investigated by both second-harmonic correlation spectroscopy (SHCS) and a traditional equilibrium binding isotherm. Adsorption and desorption rates, as well as binding affinity and binding free energy, for three...

Amorphous silica from sugarcane bagasse ash (Si-BA) was extracted and used as a support for iron (Fe). The FeSO4 loaded onto the Si-BA by 3 different methods consisting of refluxing (RF), incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) physical mixing (PM) methods. prepared materials glyphosate adsorbents were Fe/Si-BA-RF, Fe/Si-BA-IWI Fe/SI-BA-PM. All further studied several techniques. There X-ray diffr...

A carbonaceous adsorbent (TPC) prepared from Thespusia populinia bark by acid treatment was tested for its efficiency in removing Rhodamine B (RDB). The parameters studied include agitation time, initial dye concentration, carbon dose, pH and temperature. The adsorption followed first order reaction equation and the rate is mainly controlled by intra-particle diffusion. Freundlich and Langmuir ...

We present a comprehensive assessment of the thermophysical properties of an industrial, pilot-scale version of the prototype adsorbent, metal–organic framework 5 (MOF-5). These properties are essential ingredients in the design and modeling of MOF-5-based hydrogen adsorption systems, and may serve as a useful starting point for the development of other MOF-based systems for applications in cat...

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-oxime-nano Fe2O3 was used as an adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from water. The influences of contact time, initial fluoride concentration, and adsorbent dosage were investigated by batch equilibrium studies. The rate of adsorption was rapid with equilibrium being attained after 100min. The Langmuir isotherm model was found to represent the measured adsorption data...

The ability of gum kondagogu [Cochlospermum gossypium (L.) DC.], a natural carbohydrate biopolymer, was investigated for adsorptive removal of toxic metal ions Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni, Zn, Hg and total Cr present in industrial effluents. Various physico-chemical parameters, such as, pH, temperature, equilibrium contact time, % biosorption and adsorption capacity, were investigated. Metal biosorption...

Pd–Ni bimetallic catalyst supported on a composite carrier of γAl2O3 and SiO2 was prepared by chemical precipitation methodology enhanced with an ultrasonic wave. In the present paper, influence dispersant, carrier, time intensity dechlorination property catalysts obtained are investigated. The appearance, morphology structure were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning transmiss...
