The research of the present work was to investigate the removal of Rhodamine-B dye from aqueous solution by using Corchorus Olitorius-L Leaves Nano Carbon (ACONC). Generally, dyes are used in chemical, textile, paper, printing, leather, plastics and various food industries. The need for the treatment of dye contaminated waste water passed out from the industry. In this study, Corchorus Olitoriu...

The plant powder of Jaswand (Hibiscus rosa-Sinensis) were activated with sulphuric acid and used as low cost easily available and renewable biological adsorbent for the removal of acid dyes (acid blue, acid red and malachite green) from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out for adsorption kinetics and isotherms. Operating variable studied were pH, temperature, adsorbent dose, ini...

The removal of Methylene Blue dye from aqueous solution using a biowaste, dried Blue Green Algae was investigated in terms of variation of initial concentration of the dye solution, adsorbent dosage and pH. The optimum pH for the removal of dye by adsorption was found to be pH 7. The data obtained in this study fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The experimental data conf...

Activated carbons are extremely versatile adsorbents for major industrial significance, especially for metal ions recovery from wastewaters. In this study, the activated carbon prepared from the hard shell of apricot stones, an agricultural solid, which was used for the gold recovery from gold-plating wastewater is investigated. Activated carbon was produced by chemical activation with phosphor...

Carbonaceous material (brown coal) modified by pyrolysis, activation, and enrichment in nitrogen, with two different factor reagents, have been used as adsorbent of phenol from liquid phase. Changes in the phenol content in the test solutions were monitored after subsequent intervals of adsorption with selected adsorbents prepared from organic materials. Significant effect of nitrogen present i...

An adsorbent called chitosan coated magnetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (CS-MHAP) was prepared with the purpose of improvement for the removal of Ni(2+) ions and textile dye by coprecipitation. Structure and properties of CS-MHAP were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and vibrating sample magnetometer ...

The potential of spherical lignin beads as an adsorbent to take up Llysine from aqueous solution was investigated. The kinetic data were estimated by the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The mechanism of adsorption was also studied using the Boyd model and Webber’s intraparticle diffusion model. The equilibrium data were modeled by the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushk...

Modelling water vapour flow, heat transfer and porosity in porous adsorbent is somewhat challenging simulation problem. Primary macroscopic water vapour flow models, such as Darcy's law, fail to predict the pressure drop entirely correctly for the reason that many of flow parameters not considered because of the simplifications that remain made for the multi-scale structure of the porous adsorb...

Bay leaves are used for flavoring in cold drinks production, in bakery goods, sauces, confectionary products and liquors. The waste generated from these sources has been valorized by attempting the remediation of waste water. Hence, adsorption of toxic metals onto Bay leaves has been investigated after optimizing the experimental parameters, namely the pH, contact time, adsorbent and Zn(II) con...

Rice straw/magnetic nanocomposites (RS/Fe3O4-NCs) were prepared via co-precipitation method for removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. Response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to find the optimum conditions for removal of ions. The effects of three independent variables including initial ion concentration, removal time, and adsorbent dosage were investigated on the maximum ...
