present study dealt the removal of cr(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater using rice husk silica powder as an adsorbent.the experimental investigations have been carried out by using rice husk silica powder for different adsorption dosage, different contact time and different ph against the initial cr(vi) concentration of 292 mg/l. the maximum percentage removal of cr(vi) in the tannery indust...

the adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol a on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. the results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...

* Corresponding author The potential to remove Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions through biosorption using the husk of Bengal gram (Cicer arientinum), was investigated in batch experiments. The results showed removal of 99.9% of chromium in the 10 mgl chromium solution, the biomass required at saturation was 1 g mg. Kinetic experiments revealed that the dilute chromium solutions reached equilibriu...

A series of sodium bentonite and thiamine were used as raw materials to prepare a new adsorbent – thiamine-modified bentonite. The adsorbent was applied in the pretreatment of pharmaceutical wastewater. The optimum preparation conditions of thiamine-modified bentonite were studied. The experiments showed that the removals of COD (chemical oxygen demand) reached 47.98 % under optimal condition. ...

The kinetics and isotherm studies of the immobilized lipase and the mechanism of immobilization on chitosan beads and activated chitosan beads with glutaraldehyde were investigated. The effect of glutaraldehyde on porosity of chitosan was evaluated by FESEM analysis. It was observed that the porosity of the carrier which has activated by glutaraldehyde was substantially increased. The validity ...

In this work, the activated carbon/magnetic Fe3O4 nanocomposite was synthesized and characterized by TEM and XRD measurements. This magnetic nanocomposite was modified with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and thus used as a new adsorbent for removal of azide ion from an aqueous solution. In an aqueous solution of azide ion, the adsorption capacity was evaluated using both the Langmuir and Freund...

Comparison analysis of linear least-square method and non-linear method of three widely used isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Redlich-Peterson) were examined to experiment with Remazol Red (C.I. 18221) onto pistachio nut shells at a solution temperature of 293 K. All three isotherm equations showed a better fit to the experimental equilibrium data. The results show that the Langmuir model s...

Polyelectrolyte-coated nanoparticles or microparticles interact with bioactive molecules (peptides, proteins or nucleic acids) and have been proposed as delivery systems for these molecules. However, the mechanism of adsorption of polyelectrolyte onto particles remains unsolved. In this study, cationic poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles were fabricated by adsorption of various conc...
