Batch sorption experiments were carried out to remove As(III) from aqueous solution by using iron based commercial adsorbent Bayoxide. The effects of various experimental parameters, such as initial concentration, contact time and solution pH on the adsorption of As(III) on adsorbent was investigated. The adsorption density increased with increased initial arsenic concentration and contact time...

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-oxime-nano Fe2O3 was used as an adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from water. The influences of contact time, initial fluoride concentration, and adsorbent dosage were investigated by batch equilibrium studies. The rate of adsorption was rapid with equilibrium being attained after 100min. The Langmuir isotherm model was found to represent the measured adsorption data...

The present study focuses on the use of Corn cob as an effective and efficient adsorbent for the removal of Ni (II) from aqueous solution. The influence of Physico-chemical parameters such as Adsorbent Dosage, Contact time, pH and Initial concentration has been examined in Batch studies. The initial and residual concentration of Ni (II) was analyzed using UVDouble Beam absorption spectrophotome...

The study demonstrates two approaches in formulation of solid oral lipid-based diazepam preparations (BCS class II drug). The aim of the study was to formulate tablets and hard capsules, using emulsifier and adsorbent. Lipidbased preparations improve drug solubility and permeability, i. e. bioavailability. Solid silicate carriers are able to adsorb liquid lipid formulations, resulting in freely...

The presence of elevated concentration of arsenic in water sources is considered to be health hazard globally. Calcination process is known to change the surface efficacy of the adsorbent. In current study, five adsorbent composites: uncalcined and calcined Fe3O4-HBC prepared at different temperatures (400°C and 1000°C) and environment (air and nitrogen) were investigated for the adsorptive rem...

The Cowan I strain of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus has been used as an adsorbent for antibodies complexed with radiolabeled antigens from cell lysates. This application is advanced as a superior alternative to other methods of immune precipitation for the isolation of antigens. It exploits the high adsorption capacity for IgG molecules by protein A molecules on the cell walls of certain ...

environment contamination by heavy metals is a major issue threatening human health. adsorption is one of the biological processes for removing toxic metals from wastewater. the aim of this study was to determine the rate of lead biosorption from industrial wastewater by spirulina platensis. this laboratory scale experimental study was performed during april 2014 to october 2014 in environmenta...

This study presents the preparation and characterization of chemically activated carbonaceous materials obtained from waste tyres and the prepared adsorbent was applied for the adsorptive removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in the domestic wastewater samples. The activation efficiency of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were evaluated and H2O2 was chosen as the appropriate activati...

In this study, we prepared 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) functionalized sodium alginate (SA) porous membrane adsorbent (APTEOS/SA) and tested its adsorption performance for removing of Cr(III) ions. The physico-chemical properties of the pristine and Cr(III) ions loaded APTEOS/SA were investigated by FT-IR, SEM-EDX, TG, AFM, and contact angle goniometer methods. To investigate the adso...

A laboratory study was performed to study the effects of various operating factors, viz. initial metal ion concentration, solution pH, amount of sediment, contact time, particle size and temperature on the adsorption of zinc ions onto the bed sediments of the River Ganga (India). The equilibrium time was found to be of the order of 60 min. The adsorption curves are smooth and continuous leading...
