Graphene Oxide (GO) nano sheets was synthesized from graphite by Hummers method. The nature and morphology of the GO were characterized using FT-IR, UV-Vis, SEM and XRD analysis. Batch sorption experiments were carried out to remove copper (ii) phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt [Cu(tsPc)-4.4Na+] from its aqueous solutions using GO as an adsorbent. Experime...

The activated charcoal was used for the removal of alizarin red dye from aqueous solution. Different parameters such as effect of contact time, initial dye concentration and pH were investigated. It was observed from the concentration study that the amount of dye adsorbed per unit mass of the adsorbent increased with increase in dye concentration. The pH study presented that the adsorption of d...

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...

The effective removal of heavy metals from aqueous wastes is among the most important issues for many industrialized countries. Removal of arsenic (As) from aqueous solutions was studied using Rhazia stricta biomass. The batch experiments are carried out to investigate the effect of the significant process parameters such as pH, contact time, solute concentration and adsorbent dose. The optimum...

(Received: February 10, 2012; Accepted: April 30, 2012) Abstract: The present study deals with the application of Watermelon Shell, an agricultural waste, for the adsorptive removal of Cu(II) from its aqueous solutions. This paper incorporates the effects of time, dose, temperature, concentration, particle size, agitation speed and pH. Analytical techniques have been employed to find pore prope...

Introduction: Nickel is found in varies industrial processes such as electroplating, leather tanning, cement preservations, paints and pigments, textile, steel fabrication and canning industries. It is proved that Ni(II) has several health hazards such as carcinogenic. The aim of this study was the evaluation of Ni(II)adsorption on Apple peel granola from aqueous solution. Material and Methods:...

The magnetic NiFe2O4 nanoparticles have been synthesized and used as adsorbents for removal of an azo dye, Eriochrome black-T (EBT) from aqueous solution. The NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). The adsorption studies were carried out under v...

biosorption of acidic dyes using the live fern azolla filliculoides was studied in a discontinuous system. dye parameters, dye initial concentration and contact time were studied in temperature range of 25-30 ?c and ph=7. it was shown that increasing the 23initial concentration of dye and its contact time resulted in decreasing the dye taking quantity by the absorbent. also, type of dye has an ...

background and purpose:the presence of dyes in wastewaters may cause serious problems for the environment because of their high toxicity to aquatic organisms and unfavorable aesthetical impact. in the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) were used for removal of anionic dyes direct blue 106 (db106) and acid green 25 (ag25), from water samples. materials and methods:mwcnts were ...
