sawdust which is the main waste from wood industry has been used as a raw material forremoval of brilliant cresyl blue toxic dye. the effects of various parameters such as ph,electrolyte concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time and agitation rate were studied for theremoval of the dye in a concentration of 50 mg l-1. the optimum condition for the studiedparameters was applied for various con...

The adsorption of lead, cadmium and nicel from aqueous solution by sawdust of walnut was investigated. The effect of contact time, initial metal ion concentration and temperature on metal ions removal has been studied. The equilibrium time was found to be of the order of 60 min. Kinetics fit pseudo first-order, second-order and intraparticle diffusion models, hence adsorption rate constants wer...

This paper describes the preparation of new adsorbents derived from sugarcane bagasse and wood sawdust Manilkara sp. to remove zinc II ions from electroplating wastewater. The first part deals with the chemical modification of sugarcane bagasse and wood sawdust, using succinic anhydride to introduce carboxylic acid functions into the material. The obtained materials modified sugarcane bagasse M...

In this work, a low-cost lignocellulosic adsorbent with high biosorption capacity is proposed, suitable for the efficient removal of hexavalent chromium from water and wastewater media. The adsorbent was produced by autohydrolyzing Scots Pine (Pinus Sylvestris) sawdust. The effect of the autohydrolysis conditions, i.e., pretreatment time and temperature, on hexavalent chromium biosorption was i...

background lead is a toxic metal with a poor electrical conductivity. this metal can be hazardous and poisonous even in low concentrations. objectives the objective of this study is the evaluation of prosopis mimosaceae sawdust as a low-cost adsorbent for removal of the lead from effluents. materials and methods the experiment was conducted in a batch system and the effect of ph, the amount of ...

The main drawbacks of developing carbon adsorbents from pine sawdust, an abundant biomass feedstock, are the low carbon yield of the process and the poor mechanical properties of the resulting carbons. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, the effect of the addition of coal tar pitch was assessed. Adsorbent pellets were produced from pine sawdust and coal tar pitch by activation with CO2...

The sorption of copper ions onto natural bamboo sawdust with cellulose-lignin polymeric structure strongly depends on pH. The adsorption capacity for copper ions increases as increasing pH and copper loadings. The fitting of copper pH boundary curve by NEM surface complexation models shows that: three-sites model including the ion exchange reaction of permanent charge fits better than two-sites...

Oak sawdust (OSD), furniture industrial waste was chemically treated with 0.1N NaOH to give hydrolyzed oak sawdust (HOSD) which was immobilized on alginate biopolymer. Hydrolyzed oak sawdust composite (HOSDC) was utilized as low-cost adsorbent to remove basic dye (methylene blue, MB) from aqueous solution. HOSD and HOSDC were characterized by using Scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermo gra...

sawdust is now being investigated as an adsorbent to remove contaminants from aqueous solution. heavy metals can be decreased very effectively with the organic material. in this research, adsorption of pb (ii) onto modified beech sawdust in a batch system was investigated. sawdust was collected from timber mill of qom, iran, and modified with h2so4 and naoh. then, the effects of various paramet...

in this research, the removal of malachite green dye from textile wastewaters using polyaniline coated onto sawdust (pani/sd) has been investigated. ammonium peroxodisulphate was used as chemical oxidant for polymerization of polyaniline directly on the surface of sawdust. the effects of some important parameters such as ph, initial concentration, sorbent dosage, exposure time and temperature o...
