Heavy metals such as Cu(II) and Pb(II) are among the hazardous pollutants that lead to severe ecological problems and have a toxic effect on living organisms. The removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by Iranian bentonite experiment were conducted in single component and multi component systems. The bentonite from the Birjand area was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern and FTIR spectroscopy. The...

This study evaluates how the characteristics of activated carbon (AC) influence the adsorption–reduction of bromate (BrO3−) by performing inetic and isotherm tests. Experimental results reveal that both physical and chemical effects simultaneously affect the adsorption–reduction rocess. The wood-based carbons contained more mesopores than coconutand coal-based carbons, resulting in the adsorpti...

moisture sorption isotherms for pistachio powder were determined by gravimetric method according to cost 90 project at temperatures of 15, 25, 35, and 40oc . maximum hysteresis level in sorption isotherms curve was observed at the range of water activity 0.2-0.7 . on the other hand hysteresis was diminished between adsorption-desorption isotherm curves when temperature reached 40oc. some mathem...

BACKGROUND Recently, researchers have tried to design synthetic materials by replicating natural materials as an adsorbent for removing various types of environmental pollutants, which have reached to the risky levels in nature for many countries in the world. In this research, the potential of onion membrane obtained from intermediate of onion shells for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) as a ...

−− The adsorption process of Nickel and Vanadium dissolved in acid liquor on lignin is studied in this work. Different adsorption isotherm models are used to adjust liquid-solid systems: Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson. It was obtained that the metal adsorption using lignin proceeds by similar chemical mechanisms. Possibly the Nickel is adsorbed in heterogeneous monolayers, contrary t...

Background: Natural organic matters (NOMs) have the main role in formation of trihalomethanes. These compounds are in natural water sources due to biological activities. In the presented study, adsorption and separation of humic acid as an index of natural organic matters using multi-walled carbon nanotubes is evaluated. Methods: The experiments were carried out in bath adsorption reactors wit...

In the present study, comparative batch adsorption of basic dye namely Crystal Violet (CV) using the almond shell as an adsorbent in untreated form and activated with sodium hydroxide was carried out in search of optimum adsorption conditions. The operation parameters investigated was contact time (10 to 80 min), initial dye concentrations (40-240 mg/L), temperature, (20-5...

1 For virtually any physical adsorption process, the capacity of an adsorbent decreases as the temperature of the system increases. As the temperature increases the adsorbed molecules acquire sufficient energy to overcome the van der Waals’ attraction, holding them in the condensed-phase and migrating back to the gas-phase. Adsorption is an exothermic process. At low concentrations the heat rel...

background: among different pollutants released into the environment, dyes are considered as one of the most dangerous contaminants. in recent years, magnetic nanomaterials have attracted much attention for their dye removal capacity. the aim of this study was to explore the adsorption kinetics of an anionic dye (reactive orange 13 (ro)) by nife2o4 nanoparticles (nife2o4 nps) under various cond...
