Background: Dyes can cause many problems in environment. Therefore, removal of these contaminants before discharging wastewater to environment can reduce the environmental hazards. Adsorption is one of the usual processes for decolorizing from wastewater. Nanotubes are new adsorbents that can adsorb different compounds. This work aimed to investigate Acid violet 17 dye removal by adsorption usi...

Nano-ZnO was employed for the adsorption of 4C2NP from aqueous solutions in batch equilibriumexperiments to investigate its adsorption properties. The quantity of 4C2NP adsorbed onto nano- ZnOsurface was measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The effects of contact time, adsorbent dose, pH, andinitial concentration of 4C2NP were investigated. The adsorption found to be strongly influenced by all...

Prion interactions with soil may play an important role in the transmission of chronic wasting disease (CWD) and scrapie. Prions are known to bind to a wide range of soil surfaces, but the effects of adsorption solution chemistry and long-term soil binding on prion fate and transmission risk are unknown. We investigated HY TME prion protein (PrP(Sc)) adsorption to soil minerals in aqueous solut...

The reaction of fly ash with a KOH solution was used to synthesize Linde F(K) zeolite, following which Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the crystalline material. The competitive adsorption of Cu, Ni, Pb, and Cd onto this zeolite was subsequently studied in quaternary solution systems. The results show that the metal removal rates gradually increase with incr...

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 ...

the effective removal of dyes from aqueous wastewaters is among the most important issues formany industrialized countries. removal of congo red (cr) dye from aqueous solutions was studiedusing nickel oxide nanoparticles. the operating variables studied were initial ph of solution,adsorbents dosage, temperature and contact time. the morphological information of nickel oxidenanoparticles were ch...

The adsorption of dissolved hemicelluloses derived from US southern mix hardwood to cellulosic fiber is an efficient way for hemicellulose utilization. Retaining more hemicelluloses on the cellulose fibers leads to a higher pulp yield, better beatability and improved pulp strengths. The primary aim of the current work was to investigate the hemicellulose adsorption process through treating Kraf...

MIL-101(Cr) has drawn much attention due to its high stability compared with other metal-organic frameworks. In this study, three trace flue gas contaminants (H2O, NO, SO2) were each added to a 10 vol% CO2/N2 feed flow and found to have a minimal impact on the adsorption capacity of CO2. In dynamic CO2 regeneration experiments, complete regeneration occurred in 10 min at 328 K for temperature s...

Zirconia powder was synthesized via a sol gel method and placed in a batch reactor for cesium removal investigation. X-ray analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were utilized for the evaluation of the developed adsorbent. The adsorption process has been investigated as a function of pH, contact time and temperature. The adsorption is strongly dependent on the pH of the medium whe...

Adsorption of uranium (VI) on a natural clinoptilolite zeolite from Sweetwater County, Wyoming was investigated. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effects of pH and initial feed concentrations on uranium removal efficiency. It was found that the clinoptilolite can neutralize both acidic and low basic water solutions through its alkalinity and ion-exchange reactions with U within the...
