The biosorbent MLB was characterized by FTIR analysis. The extent of biosorption of Ni(II) ions was found to be dependent on solution pH, initial nickel ions concentration, biosorbent dose, contact time, and temperature. The exper...

Aluminum-impregnated food waste was selected as a filter medium for removing As(III) from aqueous solutions. The modification of and its carbonization conditions were optimized using the Box–Behnken model in response surface methodology. Pyrolysis temperature Al content significantly influenced adsorption capacity aluminum-modified biochar (Al-FWB), but pyrolysis time insignificant. Several fac...

A monolithic carbon aerogel with a specific pore texture was used as benzene adsorbent. Adsorption was carried out under static conditions at 25 C and at saturation, an adsorption capacity as high as 0.77 cm.g or 837 mg.g was obtained. This work is devoted to the application of carbon aerogels for the removal of hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol from aqueous solutions. These materials were ...

Reaction of NiCl2·6H2O, D-camphoric acid (D-H2cam), and N,N′-bis(pyraz-2-yl)piperazine (bpzpip) in pure water at 150 ◦C afforded a novel nickel(II) coordination layer, [Ni4(D-cam)2(D-Hcam)4(bpzpip)4(H2O)2] (1), under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis reveals that 1 adopts a six-connected two-dimensional (2D) chiral layer structure with 36-hxl topology. Dye ...

Removal of fluoride ions was investigated using a new adsorbent of yttrium alginate biocomposite (YALG). Effect of various parameters such as pH, contact time, initial concentration of fluoride ions and temperature on the sorption capacity of adsorbent was studied. Performing a mathematical assessment of fluoride sorption, isotherm and kinetics models including Freundlich & Langmuir isotherms a...

Experimental measurements have been made on the batch ion exchange of Ca(II) and Mg(II) from potassium chromate solution using cation exchanger of Amberlite IRC 748 as K+ form. The ion exchange behavior of two alkaline-earth metals on the resin, depending on contact time, pH, temperature and resin dosage was studied. The adsorption isotherms were described by means of the Langmuir and Freundlic...

In this research work, the Ni-Zn Ferrite Mineral Nanoparticles (NZFMN), as a novel nanoadsorbent, was used for the removal of the Green Malachite (GM) dye from aqueous solutions by in a batch and fixed bed column. Firstly, the NZFMN adsorption properties were investigated. The effects of the process parameters including the contact time, adsorbent dosage, solution pH, and GM initial concentrati...

Activated carbon prepared from Cucumis Melo Peel was used as adsorbent for the removal of chromium ion from aqueous solution. Adsorption experiments were performed by varying initial metal ion concentration, temperature, and pH. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were used to analyze the equilibrium data obtained at different adsorption conditions. Adsorption results obtained, shows that the Cr ...

The aim of the present work was to investigate the feasibility of Kattamanakku tree leaf powder carbon (KTC) for Acid Red-114 (AR-114) adsorption. The adsorption of AR-114 on KTC material was studied as a function of KTC dose (0.05-1.20g). , solution pH 3-10, contact time and initial concentration (70-380 mg/l)., The influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity was studied using the...
