Palm shell obtained from coastal part of southern India was studied for the removal for the adsorption of Hg (II) ions. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of pH, concentration of Hg (II) ions, time, temperature and adsorbent dose. Maximum removal was seen in the range pH 4.0pH 7.0. The palm shell powder used as adsorbent was characterized for its surface area, SEM, PXRD...

Synthetic dyes are extensively used in many industrial applications like textile, leather and cosmetics. The release of various harmful dyes from these industries into the environment has attracted great attention worldwide in recent years. Biosorption is a very effective dye removal technique from aqueous system. In this research, the biosorption performance of cone of red pine for C.I. Basic ...

Adsorption of crystal violet (CV) in aqueous solution on commercial activated carbon (CAC) and activated carbon obtained from Syzygium cumini seed (SCSC) have been studied comparatively. The effect of various experimental parameters has been investigated using a batch adsorption technique to obtain information on treating effluents from the dye industry. The extent of dye removal increased with...

In this study, the elimination of methylene blue (MB) by adsorption on Black Titania (B-TiO2) in an aqueous solution dark room is investigated. Preparation B-TiO2 was carried out via reduction white TiO2 NaBH4 a tube furnace under inert gas atmosphere at 600°C. Characterization absorbent XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, SEM mapping, photoluminescence, EDX analysis, Zeta potential, DLS, and FT-IR....

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND In the classical view, cell membrane proteins undergo isotropic random motion, that is a 2D Brownian diffusion that should result in an homogeneous distribution of concentration. It is, however, far from the reality: Membrane proteins can assemble into so-called microdomains (sometimes called lipid rafts) which also display a specific lipid composition. We propose a sim...

Continuous time random walks impose random waiting times between particle jumps. This paper computes the fractal dimensions of their process limits, which represent particle traces in anomalous diffusion.

In this research, SBA-15/Polypyrrole (SBA-15/PPy) mesoporous nanocomposite was synthesized, characterized and applied for Acid Blue 62 (AB62) adsorption as a textile dye from aqueous solution. In order to evaluate the structural properties of synthesized adsorbent, FT-IR, FESEM and TEM images, XRD, and BET techniques were applied. Some parameters such as pH, dosage, and time which affect the ba...

A method has been developed whereby diffusion and exchange in micro cellular structures in the human brain are correlated to produce a new type of image contrast leading to determination of water exchange rates in vivo. The diffusion method relies on differential apparent diffusion coefficients as detectable nuclei exchange between adjacent compartments marked with different apparent diffusion ...

The present work was carried out to evaluate the removal of p-nitrophenol by adsorption onto olive cake based activated carbon having a BET surface area of 672 m²/g. The batch adsorption experimental results indicated that the equilibrium time for nitrophenol adsorption by olive cake-based activated carbon was 120min. The adsorption data was modeled by equilibrium and kinetic models. The pseudo...
