the removal of as(iii) ions from aqueous solutions has been investigated using silica ceramic under different experimental conditions of initial arsenite concentration, adsorbent dose, temperature and ph. better removal was obtained at temperature 25âºc and ph 7.5. the adsorption data have been explained in terms of langmuir and freundlich equations. the sorption kinetics was tested for the pse...

The adsorption of ammonium ions onto a Chinese natural zeolite in an agitated batch adsorber was studied. A trial-and-error non-linear method was developed to examine two widely used isotherms, the Langmuir and Freundlich. The data gained from the adsorption system fitted the Freundlich isotherm better. An ion exchange model, describing the relationship among the total metal ions in the solutio...

Adsorption of Cd(2+) on two types of Egyptian soils: clay (alluvial) and sandy loam (calcareous), was studied. Effect of changing the matrix electrolyte type and concentration was used to mimic the natural soil salts. Kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption were calculated at two different electrolyte concentrations: 0.05 N and 0.15 N. The adsorption was described by Langmuir an...

The effective removal of heavy metals from aqueous wastes is among the most important issues for many industrialized countries. Removal of arsenic (As) from aqueous solutions was studied using Rhazia stricta biomass. The batch experiments are carried out to investigate the effect of the significant process parameters such as pH, contact time, solute concentration and adsorbent dose. The optimum...

the aim of this study was to investigate the congo red sorption on soil from the region of iasi (ne of romania). the effects of contact time, temperature, sorbent dose and initial dye concentration on soi sorption were investigated. the results show that the amount adsorbed of congo red on soil increase with increasing dye concentration, temperature and contact time. the experimental data were ...

In this paper, the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm is used to model the interaction of several triazines (desethylatrazine, desisopropylatrazine, simazine, atrazine, propazine and prometryn) with a propazine-imprinted polymer and to explain the observed cross-reactivity. Different rebinding experiments (each herbicide alone or all together in a mixture) were carried out and the experimental bindin...

A thermally enhanced pump-and-treatment method for pentachlorophenol (PCP)-contaminated soil and groundwater has shown potential advantages over the traditional pump-and-treatment method. Studies on the desorption kinetics of PCP from aquifer soil are the first step toward quantitative assessment of the newly proposed method. Five series of desorption batch tests were conducted at different tem...

considering the point that the existence of heavy metals in the wastewater are so dangerous forthe environment and it would have many bad consequences for all the creatures including human beings, wemust try out the ways that make us capable of adsorbing these heavy metals. in order to accomplish this goal we should use a method called adsorbing. in this study the adsorption of copper ions in h...

A low cost adsorbent Fly Ash was used for the removal of Reactive Red 194 dye (RR 194 dye) from textile effluent. The Fly ash was activated by chemical treatment by N/2 H2SO4. Batch adsorption experiments were performed as functions of adsorbent doses, initial dye concentration, contact time, and pH. The percentage of colour removal was increased with decreasing dye concentration and increasing...
