In this research, adsorption experiments were carried out for removal of Basic Blue 41(BB41) dye from an aqueous solution, using coconut fiber particles (CFP) as a low-cost biosorbent. The characteristics of coconut fiber particles weredeterminedwith a scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. The effects of initial pH, biosorbentdose, contact time,...

In this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene on single walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated.  The effect of contact time, pH, initial concentration of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, adsorbent dosage and temperature on its adsorption has been carried out in order to find optimum adsorption conditions. Adsorption isotherms and related constants were also determined. Results showed that ...

Removal of fluoride ions was investigated using a new adsorbent of yttrium alginate biocomposite (YALG). Effect of various parameters such as pH, contact time, initial concentration of fluoride ions and temperature on the sorption capacity of adsorbent was studied. Performing a mathematical assessment of fluoride sorption, isotherm and kinetics models including Freundlich & Langmuir isotherms a...

The moisture sorption isotherms of Clinacanthus nutans (C. nutans) herbal leaves were established at three different temperatures 30°C, 40°C, and 50°C, water activity between 0.3–0.9 using a static gravimetric method. results showed that equilibrium content C. increased with increasing constant temperature for both desorption adsorption isotherms. In contrast, the decreased when all exhibited T...

background & aims of the study: heavy metals discharge to environment is a worldwide problem growing in scale. when they accumulate in the environment and in food chains, they can profoundly disrupt biological processes. peganum harmala seeds (phs) was used as a bio-sorbent, using a continuous system for removing pb2+, co2+, ni2+ and cu2+ ions from aqueous solutions. materials and methods: phs ...

The sorption isotherms during adsorption and desorption of 25 wood species from Cameroon (included 3 plantation in Togo) were determined. In addition, the chemical compositions these tested. equilibrium moisture contents a normal climate varied between 10,55% 15,6%. A clear influence proportion extractives can be seen. maximum differences 2,3% 3,6%.

In this study, two Carbon Molecular Sieves using Pistachio shell (CMS P) and Walnut shell (CMS W) were prepared by a chemical vapor deposition method and used for pressure swing adsorption and separation of CO/H2 and CO/CH4. Adsorption isotherms of gases obtained for both CMS’s. The Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model was used for comparing pore volum...

In this studies removal of some ions such as Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) by single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and carboxylate functionalized (SWCNTs-COOH) from aqueous solution were studied. The effect of pH, contact time, initial concentration, ionic strength, temperature, equilibrium, models and thermodynamic parameters on the removal of ions was investigated. The results indicated that L...
