The present study was carried out to investigate the potential of carboxylate group functionalized Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT−COOH) adsorbent for the removal of Methyl orange (MO) textile dye from aqueous solutions. The effects of pH, shaking time and temperature on adsorption capacity were studied; the contact time to obtain equilibrium at 298 ˚K was fixed at 25 min. The effect of te...

The adsorption at the interface between an aqueous solution of several surface-active agents and another fluid (air or oil) phase is addressed theoretically. We derive the kinetic equations from a variation of the interfacial free energy, solve them numerically, and provide an analytic solution for the simple case of a linear adsorption isotherm. Calculating asymptotic solutions analytically, w...

In this study, removal of Acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate MCM-41 modified by Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) composite was studied. Properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by SEM, EDX and FTIR. Results show that Langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. Kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order m...

Biosorption process is a promising technology for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastes and effluents using low-cost and effective biosorbents. In the present study, adsorption of Pb(2+), Cu(2+), Fe(2+), and Zn(2+) onto dried biomass of red seaweed Kappaphycus sp. was investigated as a function of pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration, and temperature. The experimental ...

The ability of bael tree (BT) leaf powder to adsorb nickel, Ni, from aqueous solutions has been investigated through batch experiments. The Ni adsorption was found to be dependent on adsorbent dosage, initial concentration and contact time. All batch experiments were carried out at natural solution pH and at a constant temperature of 30°C using wrist-action shaker that operated at 120 rpm. The ...

In the present study, Juglans regia shells were used to prepare activated carbon by acid treatment method. J. regia shell-based activated carbon was used for the adsorption of two synthetic dyes namely, a basic dye malachite green and an acid dye amido black 10B. The prepared adsorbent was crushed and sieved to three different mesh sizes 100, 600 and 1,000 lm. The adsorbent was characterized by...

abstract introduction: due to environmental and human health concerns related to humic acid (ha), mainly leading to disinfection by-products creation, removal or reduction of this matters is a necessary for drinking water suppliers. based on resistive economy map road and move to self-sufficiency, it is necessary to produce our need in water treatment industry. one of the main consumed material...

The present study seeks to investigate the capacity of polyaniline/titanium dioxide (PAn/TiO2) and Polypyrrole/titanium dioxide (PPy/TiO2) nano-adsorbents to adsorb Congo red anionic dye (CR) from aqueous solution. The variables effective in CR adsorption, including adsorbent dose, pH of the solution, contact time, initial dye concentration, and temperature were examined. The study yielded the ...
