This research determined the adsorption performance of Florisil® impregnated with trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride (Cyphos IL-101) in the process of Cs+ removal from aqueous solutions. The obtained Florisil® impregnated with the studied ionic liquid was characterized through energy dispersive X-ray analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in order to verify that the impregna...

Syringopicroside is the major constituent in Folium syringae leaves with known pharmacological activities. In this study, a simple method for preparative separation of syringopicroside from F. syringae leaves with macroporous resins was developed. Adsorption characteristics of syringopicroside on six types of macroporous resins, including ADS-8, ADS-17, D141, NKA-9, HPD450, and HPD600, have bee...

Cr(III) adsorption by biochars generated from peanut, soybean, canola and rice straws is investigated with batch methods. Adsorption of Cr(III) increased as pH rose from 2.5 to 5.0. Adsorption of Cr(III) led to peak position shifts in the FTIR-PAS spectra of the biochars and made zeta potential values less negative, suggesting the formation of surface complexes between Cr3+ and functional group...

In order to evaluate the adsorption potential of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX), the adsorption capacities of benzene and toluene on two different MWCNTs were measured using a gas-chromatography (GC) and then compared with each other. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was employed to investigate the presence of f...

Understanding the interaction of perfluorochemicals, persistent pollutants with known human health effects, with mineral compounds in surface water and groundwater environments is essential to determining their fate and transport. Kinetic experiments showed that adsorption equilibrium can be achieved within 48 h and the boehmite (AlOOH) surface is receptive to perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) an...

Removal of Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ , and Ni 2+ from aqueous solutions using cellulosegraft-acrylic acid (C-g-AA) hydrogels was investigated. Various factors affecting the adsorption capacity, such as pH, time, initial ions concentration, and competitive ions, were tested. The results showed that the adsorption of hydrogels was very pH dependent, and maximum adsorption was obtained at a pH of 5.0. The ads...

A type of novel hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent was obtained by sulfonation and cross-linking reaction of polypropylene fiber grafted styrene-divinylbenzene. The aim of the fiber sulfonation and cross-linking method was to prepare rigid three dimensional networks in the entire fiber and change the ion exchange capacity of fiber. The hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent possesses a principall...

The phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) has been used as an adsorbent for the removal of dyes (Methylene blue and Congo red dye) from synthetic aqueous solution. Different factors of the adsorbent, like, contact time, pH of the sorption medium, concentration of the dye solution, were investigated by the batch sorption experiment. The adsorption equilibrium data was best fitted by the Langmuir isotherm m...
