In this study, the adsorption behavior of zeolites A and X, which are prepared from very cheap local Egyptian clay (kaolin), with respect to Cu(2+), Cd(+2), Cr(+2), Ni(+2) and Zn(2+) has been studied. The batch method has been employed, using metal solutions ranging from 100 to 400 mg/L. The distribution coefficients (K(d)) and adsorption percent were determined for the adsorption system as a f...

A trained sensory panel evaluated the 6 fig cultivars currently sold in the California dried fig market. The main flavor and aroma attributes determined by the sensory panel were "caramel," "honey," "raisin," and "fig," with additional aroma attributes: "common date," "dried plum," and "molasses." Sensory differences were observed between dried fig cultivars. All figs were processed by 2 commer...

Sorption-desorption kinetics play a major role in transport and bioavailability of pollutants in soils. Contaminant concentration is a potentially important factor controlling kinetics. A previous paper dealt with the effect of solute concentration on fractional uptake rates of phenanthrene and pyrene from a finite aqueous source. In this study we determined the effect of initial phenanthrene s...

Batch sorption studies have been carried out to determine the effect of initial concentration of the sorbate, agitation time, adsorbent dose, pH, co-ions and temperature on the adsorption of fluoride on activated carbon prepared from newspaper. The adsorption process was found to be pH, temperature and concentration dependent. The experimental data fitted well to the Freundlich and Langmuir iso...

In given work a scientific base compatibility of polymers, produced by industry have been studied revealing thermodynamically regularities polymer mixtures. The most significant thermodynamic the mixtures polyolefin , and heterochained polymers revealed on this bases their developed for creation multicomponent compositional materials with complex operating properties. Key words: polymer-polymer...
