In this research, a high porous silicate mining waste that was prepared from Syah Kamar Polymetal Porphyry mine in order to malachite green dye (MG) removal has been applied. The characterization of this natural mineral was determined using the XRD, XRF, SEM and FT-IR analysis. The MG adsorption onto high porous activated waste was studied based on the parameters of pH, temperature, adsorbent d...

Graphene-based materials have emerged as new potential adsorbents for the adsorption and removal of persistent pollutants, and they could play a key role in the remediation of 1,4-dioxane. In this framework, a quantum chemistry study was carried out to rationalize the sorption properties of oxidized graphene (GO) and Si-doped graphene (SiG) nanosheets for use in 1,4-dioxane removal, taking into...

adsorption and water treatment of ca (ii) and mg (ii) hardness were investigated via adsorption of metal ions onto commercial polyacrylic acid hydrogel beads as a novel sorbent for metal ions (ca2+, mg2+) removal and water treatment. batch equilibrium technique was carried out under the influence of solution ph, contact time, sorbent dosage, initial metal concentration and competitive study. th...

Lentinus edodes, a functional food, was evaluated as a potential antidote for adsorption/removal of cadmium ion from simulated gastrointestinal fluids. An adsorption/removal capacity of 65.12 mg/g was achieved by L. edodes in solutions with a pH ranging from 2.5 to 6.0, while little if any adsorption was observed in solutions with a pH under 2.5. In solutions with pH 6.0, 84% of the cadmium ads...

Zirconia powder was synthesized via a sol gel method and placed in a batch reactor for cesium removal investigation. X-ray analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were utilized for the evaluation of the developed adsorbent. The adsorption process has been investigated as a function of pH, contact time and temperature. The adsorption is strongly dependent on the pH of the medium whe...

Availability of arsenic in waterbodies has posed devastating impacts to terrestrial and aquatic organisms. As such, prudent and pragmatic technologies need to be developed to troubleshoot and solve the problem of arsenic in aquatic ecosystems. This study was designed to investigate the potential use of cryptocrystalline magnesite for removal of arsenic from aqueous solution. Removal of arsenic ...

the use of orange peel as low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dyes from wastewater. this paper concerns with the removal of blue 56 from aqueous solutions by orange peel. the effects of ph , initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, and particle size of adsorbent, temperature and also isotherm data analys...

in this study, a new adsorbent, silver nanoparticle loaded on activated carbon (ag˗np˗ac) was used for removal of acid yellow199 (ay 199) dye. this novel material was characterized and identified by different techniques such as brunauer, emmett and teller (bet), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem), x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis. unique properties of this adsorbent such as hig...

background: the presence of heavy metals in the environment especially in water supplies have caused many concerns because of their toxicity and non-degradability. hexavalent chromium (cr) is one of the most toxic metals which is used in many industries, so it is essential to remove it from industrial wastewater. in this study, we made a comparison between different adsorption isotherms in the ...
