The feasibility of natural apatite for adsorptive removal of Fe from aqueous solution was investigated. Batch experiments were performed as function of process parameters such as contact time, initial concentration of Fe, temperature, apatite dosage and pH. The natural apatite exhibited a high performance for the removal of Fe from aqueous solution. The pH value clearly affects the removal mech...

The application of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in an unmodified form as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye removal in waste water at 303–333K was investigated. Effects of operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and pH were determined for optimum conditions for maximum dye removal. Results obtained showed that dye removal efficiency increases as the amount...

A 5’-deoxyadenosylcobalamin-agarose adsorbent has been prepared for the purification by affinity chromatography of enzymes which require 5’-deoxyadenosylcobalamin as a coenzyme. The synthesis involved the covalent attachment of cyanocobalamin to agarose through a 12 carbon chain. This hydrocarbon chain was attached to the corrin nucleus by reacting diaminododecane with cyanocobalamin e-carboxyl...

The adsorption of Triton X-100 in aqueous solution on the granite sand has been investigated to evaluate its ability as an adsorbent. Various parameters such as agitation time, adsorbent dose, adsorbent size, initial concentration of adsorbate, pH, temperature, and effect of interference ions were studied on the laboratory scale to establish optimum conditions for the removal of TX-100 from the...

Immobilization of Chetoceros sp microalgae with silica as supporting matrix has been carried out through encapsulation technique with using solution of Na2SiO3 sol. Identification of functional groups and surface morphology from adsorbent obtained was performed with utilizing infrared spectrophotometer (IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Adsorption process of Pb(II) ion on adsorbent wa...

A variety of adsorbents are available naturallyrice husk, neem bark, clays etc. that can be used to remove dye from the discharged waste. In this study,the use of lowcost, locally available, eco-friendly and highly efficient adsorbent has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dyes from wastewater. The removal of the textile dye Methylene blue (MB...

The efficiency of activated parthenium hysterophorous as an adsorbent for removing Pesticide mixture from water has been studied. Batch mode adsorption experiments have been conducted by varying pH, concentration, adsorbent dose and contact time. Pesticide removal was pH-dependent and found to be maximum at pH 2.0. The maximum removal of pesticides was achieved within 100 min after the start of...

Magnetically modified activated carbon, which synthesized by nanomagnetic iron oxide, was used for fast and effective removal of Crystal Violet from aqueous solutions. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of nano-adsorbent showed that the average sizes of adsorbent are less than 100 nm. The various parameters, affecting on adsorption process, were examined including pH and temperature ...
