In this research, the zeolite sodalite, as an inorganic ion exchange material, was chemically produced in the template-free synthesis and evaluated in order to facilitate the sorption of strontium ions from aqueous solutions in batch operations onto acid treated zeolite with dilute H2SO4 solutions. The following indicates what the batch experiments included: a sorbent amount of 0.25 g in 100 mL...

A series of adsorption tests were conducted to analyze the sorption capacity of attapulgite. Ions such as cobalt, nickel, lead and cadmium were adsorbed from waste solutions onto attapulgite surface. Adsorption depletion tests were performed as a function of solid to liquid ratio, conditioning time, heavy metal ion concentration, and pH to identify the mode and extent of interactions in the sys...

Complexes of ion-exchange resins and dextromethorphan (DM), a model drug, were prepared using different methods including a batch and a column method with different functional groups, ion-exchange capacity, degree of crosslinking, and resin particle size. Drug loading efficiency, release profiles, and scanning electron micrographs were also investigated. Most of the functional groups of resins ...

Urban landfill leachate is a high strength wastewater characterized by high concentrations of recalcitrant organic compounds, ammonia and, increasingly, arsenic. The aims of this study were the review on membrane bioreactor, ion exchange and adsorption method for landfill leachate treatment. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) can be used for wastewater and landfill leachate treatment. The most important...

Solid-liquid extraction (adsorption or ion exchange) is a promising approach for the in situ separation of organic acids from fermentation broths. In this study, a diluted concentration of lactic acid (<10 g/L) separation from a model fermentation broth by granular activated carbon (GAC) as well as weak (Reillex® 425 or RLX425) and strong (Amberlite® IRA-400 or AMB400) base anion exchange resin...

Hydrothermally-synthesized titanate nanotubes (TNTs) are found to be excellent at adsorption of highly toxic thallium ions. Uptake of both thallium ions is very fast in the first 10 min. The adsorption isotherm of Tl(I) follows the Langmuir model with maximum adsorption capacity of 709.2 mg g(-1). Ion-exchange between Tl(+) and Na(+) in the interlayers of TNTs is the primary mechanism for Tl(I)...

Abstract Heavy metal water pollution is a global concern in recent years. Copper toxic at higher concentrations (&gt; 20 μg /g) and needs to be removed using ion exchanger systems. This study investigates the removal efficiencies of copper by non-metallic fraction (NMF) waste printed circuit boards (PCBs). The high maximum adsorption capacity PCB-derived material after activation with KOH was 2...

in this study, the blast furnace slag was used as absorbing bed and then, its ionic adsorption was studied. for this reason, various experimental parameters such as ph, contact time and the primary ion concentration were investigated. the remaining concentrations of ions such as; mn2+ and fe2+ in water were measured by atomic adsorption spectroscopy. the chemical and phase composition of slag, ...

~Clay materials separated from estuarine sediments in Louisiana exhibit a selectivity for exchangeable calcium in laboratory experiments. The studies were conducted at 25~ and 60~ in mixed calcium and potassium chloride solutions in which the equivalent fraction of potassium varied from 0.12 to 0.54. Calcium selectivity was observed to increase with an increase in the equivalent fraction of pot...
