Rice husk ash (RHA), an agricultural waste, was used as biosorbent for the removal of Iron(II) and Manganese(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The structural and morphological characteristics of RHA and its elemental compositions before and after adsorption of Fe(II) and Mn(II) were determined by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses. Batch experiments were ca...

The sorption of a protein pair on carboxylic cation exchangers with various contents of ionogenic groups is examined. The bi-Langmuir isotherm calculation is carried out from sorption data for single-component systems. It is shown that good agreement of calculated and experimental data is reached only when protein-sorbent interaction weakens because of implementation of the competitive sorption...

Removal of cesium from synthetic aqueous solution through adsorption on bentonite, under batch equilibrium experimental condition at different values of pH and four temperatures (303, 313, 323, 333 K) was investigated. For this propose the suitability of the Freundlich adsorption model for equilibrium data were investigated. The parameters in the adopted adsorption isotherm models were determin...

Sawdust is obtained from naturally and easily available which is biodegradable. The bio sorption capacity of the sawdust for hexavalent chromium was studied at different solution pH values (1.5-6), initial metal concentration (50450 mg/L), adsorbent dose (1-7 g/L). The maximum adsorption of Cr (VI) is obtained at pH 1.5, initial concentration 50 ppm and adsorbent dose 5 g/l. The adsorption of c...

Humic substances in drinking water react with chlorine and form carcinogenic compounds. This study investigates application of SiO -TiO nano particles and determines removal of Humic acid from an aqueous 2 2 solution and also was conducted on both synthetic and actual water samples, was collected from Isfahan located in center of Iran. The effects of various parameters such as pH, contact time ...

The present work covers the preparation of carbon-based nanosorbents by ethylene decomposition on stainless steel mesh without the use of external catalyst for the treatment of water containing nickel ions (Ni2+). The reaction temperature was varied from 650 to 850 degrees C, while reaction time and ethylene to nitrogen flow ratio were maintained at 30 min and 1:1 cm3/min, respectively. Results...

There are three possible effects of Special Theory of Relativity (STR) on a thermodynamic system. Planck and Einstein looked upon this process as isobaric; on the other hand Ott saw it as an adiabatic process. However plenty of logical reasons show that the process is isotherm. Our phenomenological consideration demonstrates that the temperature is invariant with Lorenz transformation. In that ...

in this study, nano-tio2 was employed for the adsorption of chloroform from aqueous solution in batch equilibrium experiments to investigate its adsorption properties. the effects of ph, initial chloroform concentration and nano-tio2 dosage were also investigated. optimal conditions for chloroform removal by nano-tio2 have been then identified. results of equilibrium experiments showed that the...

adsorption of p-nitrophenol by three different activated carbons (f100, s.e.i. and b.d.h.) was carried out at 301 k and at controlled ph conditions. two different adsorption models (langmuir model and freundlich model) were studied and compared. the adsorption capacity of the carbons depends on the point of zero charge (pzc) and surface area of the carbons. adsorption of the solute at higher ph...
