Adsorption of ammonia from anaerobic digester effluent by magnetically modified zeolite (MMZ) has been investigated using a batch technique and comparison of adsorption isotherm equations. Adsorption isotherm models were utilized to describe the equilibrium isotherms and the isotherm constants were calculated. The sorption of ammonia follows Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) m...

Bentonite - TiO2 composites were prepared by impregnation of TiO2 and bentonite, followed by microwave irradiation processes. The composites were characterized using FTIR, SEM, XRD, and nitrogen sorption methods. Anatase phase of TiO2 in all composites are observed through XRD diffraction peaks and surface morphology of the composites. The adsorption and photocatalytic capabilities of the compo...

in this paper, the adsorption of cerium on modified mesoporous aluminosilicate (with si/al mole ratio of 10) was studied. the effects of ph, contact time, initial concentration of cerium on adsorption of cerium were investigated. the adsorption capacity was high in the ph range of 4-8 and decreases with decreasing of the ph value. the langmuir and freundlich isotherms were applied to represent ...

One of the causes of water pollution is the presence of heavy metals in water. In the present study, an adsorbent prepared from the raw bark of the Pongamia pinnata tree is used for the removal of ferrous or ferric ions from aqueous and waste water containing heavy metals. Adsorption studies were conducted at different pH, concentration of metal ion, amount of adsorbent, contact time, agitation...

Triphenylmethane (TPM) dye is one of the most prevalent and recalcitrant water contaminants. Magnetic reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is an efficient adsorbent for organic pollutants removal. However, the performance and adsorption kinetics of magnetic rGO towards TPM have not yet been studied. In this study, a magnetic Fe3O4@rGO nano-composite, which could be easily removed from water with a simp...

The potential to remove chromium(VI) from aqueous solutions through biosorption using coffee husk was investigated. The effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption of Cr(VI) were studied. The data obeyed Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The Langmuir adsorption capacity was found to be 44.95 mg/g. The Freundlich constants Kf and n were 1...

This research has studied equilibrium adsorption isotherms of Ketotifen on carbon nanotube. And also results of experiments through Freundlich,Temkin and Langmuir models have been studied and it has found different parameters of these models for carbon nano-tube adsorbent. According to the error rate for each model, we obtained a good agreement between these data which it showed the best agreem...

The ability of Clinoptilolite powder to adsorb Ni (II) ions from wastewater which was taken from a nickel plating factory was investigated through batch experiments. The Ni (II) adsorption was found to be dependent on mass of adsorbent, contact time, pH value of solution and the speed of agitation. The experimental isotherms data were fitted into Langmuir and Freundlich models. The monolayer ad...

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...

mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metals present in aquatic systems, exhibiting a complex behaviour in the environment, where it may persist for decades after the source of pollution is stopped. hence, it is important develop new techniques for its removal from the aquatic systems. in this context, a particularly promising line of research is the use of new materials capable of up taking m...
