Methylene blue, a prevalent cationic type dye, has been extensively utilized in textile industry. Lignin generates as byproduct and its utilization is required to add potential economic benefit of biorefinery process. Lignin-derived porous biochar, promising adsorbent, was propitiously prepared by chemical modification with different oxidation number manganese compounds (KMnO4, MnSO4, MnO2). Th...

The surface of coconut coir pith, a lignocellulosic polymer was modified with a cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and used as an adsorbent for the removal of sulfate from aqueous solutions. Optimum pH for maximum removal of sulfate was found to be 2.0. Adsorption has been found to be concentration dependent and follows pseudo second order kinetics. Langmuir, Freundlich and...

background and purpose: phenol and derivatives are common pollutants of drinking water which are blamed for crucial adverse effects such as poisoning, cancer, and malformation. in this study, an activated carbon of miswak’s root (mr) was used for the removal of phenol from aqueous solutions as a low-cost and high surface adsorbent. materials and methods: adsorption experiments were then conduct...

the aim of this study was to investigate the removal of toluene from air through nano-graphene modified by ionic liquid (ng-il). the batch adsorption experiments in glass bottle of gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector (gc-fid) were used. graphene ultrahigh-quality synthesized by substrate-free gas-phase method in a single step and graphene sheets were deposited with ionic-...

Dyes are an important class of pollutants which when discharged into water resources can be toxic to the aquatic environment and cause serious problems for public health. Various treatment technologies such as adsorption are in use. For this reason, clinoptilolite was used as a low-cost adsorbent to remove color from aqueous solution. Clinoptilolite was modified with sulfuric and phosphoric aci...

Raw bentonite (RB), a known low-cost versatile clay was used as an adsorbent. RB was treated thermally and chemically to increase its adsorption capacity. For thermal treatment (TTB), the bentonite was heated at 400 °C for 60 min, and for the chemical modification, its surface was treated by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to prepare organo-modified bentonite (CTAB-B). The removal of Cong...

Sawdust is now being investigated as an adsorbent to remove contaminants from aqueous solution. Heavy metals can be decreased very effectively with the organic material. In this research, adsorption of Pb (II) onto modified beech sawdust in a batch system was investigated. Sawdust was collected from timber mill of Qom, Iran, and modified with H2SO4 and NaOH. Then, the effe...

Introduction: Fluoride (F) and its compounds are widely used in industries in which fluoride overdose leads to various detrimental diseases. In this study the effect of NaOH-modified Eucalyptus leaves on fluoride removal from aqueous solutions as a natural adsorbent was investigated. Materials and Methods: The focus of this study was on the effects of parameters such as pH (2-12), initial conc...

The usage of wastes of baggase would be admirable from environmental and solid waste management point of view. Thus, herein, this data set present a facile method for providing an adsorbent from mixture of bagasse-bentonite. The prepared adsorbent was applied to remove Cd2+ from aqueous solution. The characterization data of the adsorbent were analyzed using XRF and FTIR methods. The XRF test r...
