In this research, adsorption of dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a model of sulfur containing material has been studied by Pb exchanged Y-zeolite under different experimental conditions. The adsorption was kinetically fast and high adsorption capacity was obtained. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freunlich isotherm models. The corresponding parameters and correlation c...

In this batch study, montmorillonite was modified by a cationic surfactant [hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA-MMT)] and used as sorbent to remove bromocresol green (BCG) from aqueous solutions. The effect of several factors such as surfactant loading rate onto the clay, contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, dye concentration, and ion strength were investigated on the sorption. The equilib...

This work aims at the modeling of bio-sorption of cadmium(II) onto physically and chemically activated Cajanus cajan (Pigeon pea) husks. Experimental data obtained were fitted to a number of isotherm and kinetic models, and the results interpreted. The monolayer Cd(II) bio-sorption capacities of the husk were found to considerably increase by 2.82 times due to chemical activation, for bio-s...

This study investigated the feasibility of Date-palm) Phoenix dactylifera (Leaf Ash (DLA) (an inexpensive agricultural-byproduct) as an application to adsorb Pb(II) ions. An adsorption process was carried out to evaluate initial concentration Pb(II) ions, adsorbent dose, contact time, pH and temperature on the systematic removal of Pb(II). The effects were examined and results showed that remov...

In this study, activated carbon synthesized from Aloe vera green wastes was used as a sorbent to remove 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) from aqueous solutions. The influence of contact time (0-100 minutes), pH (2-8), adsorbent dosage (1-9 g/l), and initial 4-CP concentration (10-60 mg/l) in batch system was investigated on the sorption. The sorbent was specified using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). ...

In this work, removal of C. I. Acid Red 14 was investigated by Pumice stone as a low cost adsorbent. Various parameters such as initial dye solution, contact time and pH were studied. Removal of dye were increased by increasing of contact time and initial dye solution and deceased by increasing of pH. Three isotherm models were studied. Linear and non-linear regression analyses were used fo...

In this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene (CNB) from aqueous solutions onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was surveyed. The effect of some key parameters such as pH (2-10), carbon nanotubes dosage (0.02-0.1 mg/250mL), CNB concentration (2- 16 mg/L), and temperature (20,30,40,50°C) were investigated. The results showed that, the variation of initial pH and CNB concentration ex...
