In this work the kinetic data demanded for kinetic modeling were obtained in temperatures 350, 400, 450 and 500 oC by conducting experimentations on a Fe-Cr nanocatalyst prepared from a novel method and a commercial Fe-Cr-Cu one. The collected data were subjected to kinetic modeling by using two models derived from redox and associative mechanisms as well as an empirical one. The coefficients o...

Graft copolymerization of acryl-amide onto guar-gum has been carried out in the presence of potassium per sulphate as a redox initiator. The prepared graft copolymer was characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, SEMEDX and TGA-DTA-DTG. Activated charcoal was also studied as the adsorbent in the present study to evaluate their adsorption capacity for Cr (Vl) and compared it with indigen...

The kinetics and isotherm studies of the immobilized lipase and the mechanism of immobilization on chitosan beads and activated chitosan beads with glutaraldehyde were investigated. The effect of glutaraldehyde on porosity of chitosan was evaluated by FESEM analysis. It was observed that the porosity of the carrier which has activated by glutaraldehyde was substantially increased. The validity ...

Dyes are one of prevalent types of chemicals used by human being today. Dyes are organic compounds which have complex aromatic molecular structure that make them toxic and harmful. When these dyes introduced with water due to textile dyeing and printing industrial waste water may cause problems to all living organism. In these dyes highly toxic metals are used as mordents so the removal of thes...

The interpretation of processes yielding aqueous contaminant removal in the presence of elemental iron (e.g. in Fe(0)/H(2)O systems) is subject to numerous complications. Reductive transformations by Fe(0) and its primary corrosion products (Fe(II) and H/H(2)) as well as adsorption onto and co-precipitation with secondary and tertiary iron corrosion products (iron hydroxides, oxyhydroxides, and...

The ability of Clinoptilolite powder to adsorb Ni (II) ions from wastewater which was taken from a nickel plating factory was investigated through batch experiments. The Ni (II) adsorption was found to be dependent on mass of adsorbent, contact time, pH value of solution and the speed of agitation. The experimental isotherms data were fitted into Langmuir and Freundlich models. The monolayer ad...

A polyoxoniobate/g-C3N4 nanoporous material with functional groups has been synthesized by using carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and hexaniobate (K8Nb6O19·10H2O, abbreviated as NbO) as precursors. The structure and compositions of the as-prepared nanomaterials were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, and XPS. These two kinds of materials interact with each other forming a hybrid composite, which c...

the adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol a on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. the results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...
