Aqueous-phase edsorption equilibrium and kinetic mechanism of phenol, 3-chlorophenol rnd o-cresol onto Norit Granular Activaied Caibon (NAC 1240) were studied in a batch system at temperature of 30 oC, agitation speed of 120 rpm, initial phenol concentrations of 25-200 mg/t. The elfects of initid phenol concentration and time of adsorption on phenol adsorption process were lnvestigated. The ads...

sorption reactions in many heterogeneous systems are important. adsorption is a time dependent process and knowing the adsorption rate is essential for designing, evaluating and recovering the adsorbents. at the present study, an ammonium adsorption kinetic experiment by some soils series of golestan provice, which is varying in mineralogical and textural properties was conducted using solution...

The rates of adsorption of three commercial reactive dyes and Cu(II) from water in the absence and presence of complexing agents using chitosan were measured at 308C. Three simplified kinetic models, i.e., pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion, were tested to investigate the adsorption mechanisms. It was shown that the adsorption of reactive dyes and Cu(II) in the...

The adsorption behavior of anionic dye congo red (CR) from aqueous solutions using an anion exchange membrane (EBTAC) has been investigated at room temperature. The effect of several factors including contact time, membrane dosage, ionic strength and temperature were studied. Kinetic models, namely pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order, liquid film diffusion and Elovich models as well as B...

The removal of Malachite Green (MG) by Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) Shell Activated Carbon (CSAC) was investigated in present study. Adsorption studies were performed by batch experiments as a function of process parameters such as initial pH, contact time, initial concentration and adsorbent dose. A comparison of kinetic models applied to the adsorption of MG on CSAC was evaluated for the pseudo-fi...

In this paper, the ability of coconut bunch waste (CBW), an agricultural waste available in large quantity in Malaysia, to remove basic dye (methylene blue) from aqueous solution by adsorption was studied. Batch mode experiments were conducted at 30 degrees C to study the effects of pH and initial concentration of methylene blue (MB). Equilibrium adsorption isotherms and kinetics were investiga...

this paper discusses the biosorption of ni(ii) ions from aqueous solutions by bacillus sphaericus biomass. the biosorption process was affected by the solution ph, biomass concentration, contact time, temperature and initial ni(ii) concentration respectively. the sorption kinetics and equilibrium data were described well with the pseudo-second order kinetic model and the freundlich isotherm mod...

in the present investigation, dead bacterium biomass streptomyces rimosus was used as an inexpensive and efficient biosorbent for cr (iii) removal from aqueous solution. the bacterial biomass was treated with 0.1 m naoh. sorption level of 65 mg/g was observed at ph 4.8 while precipitation effect augmented this value at higher ph range. chromium desorption increased with decreasing desorption ag...

introduction: discharging of industrial colored wastewaters especially into aqueous environments can cause adverse effects on aquatic life due to their toxic natures. in this study, montmorillonite modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (hdtma-mt) was used for the adsorption of methylene blue (mb). materials and methods: the influence of surfactant loading rate, contact time, ph, adsor...

Electrocoagulation (EC) in a batch cell with Al anode and Fe cathode in monopolar parallel (MP) connection was used for the removal of basic dye, Bromophenol Blue (BPB). The effects of current density, pH, temperature and initial dye concentration, on the process were investigated. Equlibrium data were analyzed using four model equations: Langmuir, Freudlinch, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich. D...
