As the electrochemical method, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Stripping Cyclic Voltammetry detection method was designed for measurement and monitoring of adsorbed mercury ions by new modified adsorbent based on mesoporous silica as a new adsorbent. In this respect, SBA-15 as mesoporous silica and 1, 3, 5 Trithiane as effective modifier ligand were chosen, and the modification process was car...

conclusions the findings of this study showed that the modification of natural zeolites can achieve higher adsorption capacity for organics. in addition, based on the results, natural zeolite being modified with sds as a cationic surfactant had good efficiency for the adsorption of nom. results the results indicated that sds-modified zeolite showed greatly enhanced adsorption capacity. findings...

A new modified silica gel doped with 5-(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)-rhodanine was prepared for separation, preconcentration and determination of silver ion by atomic absorption spectrometry. This new modified silica gel was used as an effective adsorbent for the solid phase extraction of Ag(+) from aqueous solutions. The variables that influence the adsorption/desorption of trace levels of Ag(+...

Zeolites are widely used in wastewater and contaminated water refinement due to their great adsorption properties. However, Clinoptilolite (as one type of Zeolites) has a relatively low adsorption capacity at least for arsenic ions. Therefore, in order to increase the adsorption capacity, natural Clinoptilolite was modified with sulfuric acid and various tests were then conducted to determine t...

As the fossil fuels kept on depleting, intense research in developing hydrogen (H2) as the alternative fuel has been done to cater our tremendous demand for fuel. The potential of H2 as the ultimate clean fuel differs with the fossil fuel that releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the surrounding and leads to the global warming. The experimental work was carried out to study...

Tartaric acid modified wheat bran was utilized as adsorbent to remove methyl blue, a basic dye from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out to study the effect of various experimental parameters such as initial solution pH, contact time, initial dye concentration and adsorbent dosage, on dye adsorption. The results showed that the modification of wheat bran by tartaric acid signifi...

BACKGROUND In recent years, proficient treatment of wastewaters containing recalcitrant and toxic compounds such as phenol has been a challenge. This study introduced and evaluated an efficient option for treating such wastewater. METHODS This experimental study was performed on phenol removal as a recalcitrant and toxic compound in aqueous solutions in 2011. The pumice stone was collected fr...

This data article describes a facile method for production of an adsorbent from Tamarix hispida wasted wood and modified by lanthanum metal for fluoride ions removal from wastewater. The main characteristics of the adsorbent consist of BET surface area, functional groups, and elemental analysis is presented. The data for attenuating the pollutants from a real wastewater treatment which was prov...

Synthetic dyes are among the most common contaminants of the environment. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of Basic Blue 41 (BB41) and Methylene Blue (MB) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. In this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with Citric Acid (CA) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for ...

the silica gel waste (sgw), after its collection from a local factory (kolkata, india) was modified with cationic surfactant and was utilized as an adsorbing media for the removal of 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d) from agricultural runoff of a tea garden. characterization of base adsorbent and modified adsorbent was carried out. the efficacy of the adsorbent was evaluated through both ...
