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 interfacial properties of the system hematite/dicarboxylic acid were investigated in the presence of sodium perchlorate by means of adsorption, zeta potential and surface potential measurements. Maleic and fumaric acid were used as dicarboxylic acids. No significant difference in the surface potential values of hematite with and without the presence of dicarboxylic acids was observed. On th...

The purpose of this study was to compare 8-hydroxyquinoline -5-sulphonic acid (QSA) and its 7nitro derivative (NQSA) loaded on F-400 GAC as a suitable adsorbent material for adsorption of Cu ions in aqueous solutions. Batch experiments were performed to evaluate effect of various parameters like pH, contact time, temperature, agitation speed, etc. Kinetic studies were done which showed 90.14% r...

the removal ofxylenol orange from aqueous solution onto the coal ash was investigated at room temperature. the results show that the adsorption capacity of xylenol orange increased as the adsorption time increased and then equilibrium established after 30 min adsorption time. the results obtained revealed that the coal ash removed about 80 % of xylenol orange from the aqueous solution within 40...

sorption reactions in many heterogeneous systems are important. adsorption is a time dependent process and knowing the adsorption rate is essential for designing, evaluating and recovering the adsorbents. at the present study, an ammonium adsorption kinetic experiment by some soils series of golestan provice, which is varying in mineralogical and textural properties was conducted using solution...

We have measured the time-resolved adsorption kinetics of the mussel adhesive protein (Mefp-1) on a nonpolar, methyl-terminated (thiolated) gold surface, using three independent techniques: quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), surface plasmon resonance, and ellipsometry. The QCM-D and ellipsometry data shows that, after adsorption to saturation of Mefp-1, cross-linki...

recently, the use of biological absorbent in removal of hazardous pollutants such as heavy metals has increased because of the decrease in sludge problems, economical issues, high efficiency and compatibility with the environment. this study was done over the biosorption of nickel by biosolids obtained from the municipal wastewater treatment in a batch reactor. the pretreatment of the biosolids...

the modeling of kinetic and isotherm curves acquired in adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) as a model compound (phenanthrene) on activated carbons in the organic solvent. all the runs were carried out in a batch system at atmospheric pressure, process temperature of 24±2°c, and using the 100 ml phenanthrene in cyclohexan. this experimental work was mainly focused on the study...
